great class for my stiff neck and shoulders. nice background too! thank you David
Very stress relieving and gives me the initiative to strive for more challenging classes. David is very helpful and intuitive to senior's needs and drawbacks! Enjoyed this very much!
loved it
What a lovely class. I did this before meditation and bedtime; it was perfect.
This class is very relaxing and also helpful for the tightness I have from whiplash. I had an emotionally draining day today, and I feel such a sense of relief after this class. Thank you David.
Perfect class for my mobility issues! Thank you so much for your gentleness and modifications where necessary!
I’m recovering from a lower body medical issue and was upset about missing yoga but found this class. Really great if you have mobility issues. Thank you David!
Really enjoyed this class. I need to strengthen my back and I can't lay down on the floor, so this was perfect for me. Excellent instructions. I will repeat this class on a regular basis.
David, this class was perfect as I am recovering from a fractured and sprained ankle. My upper body feels quite tense as I am on crutches and this class has really helped me to relax and release around my neck, arms and shoulders. I'll be doing it every day for the next few weeks!
These are amazing stretches for the upper body. It is cool to be able to stretch so many little areas of the shoulders, upper back, and neck. This practice covers all of the intricate areas that definitely make a difference in how one feels. So many places where stress can be stored. Great video!! Thank you David
Thank you so much for doing a video for those of us with mobility issues! For the first time, I have hope that I will become flexible again and be able to do more and more as I utilize your instruction.
Wonderful class, thank you David. My first attempt at Yoga post ankle fusion surgery 4 days ago. The stretch and opening was much needed.
Beautiful practice. I love the concept of the edge...
Hi I have just completed my first tough mudder and as you can imagine can hardly move your chair yoga classes are going along way to my recovery so thankyou so very much
Hi David, firstly thank you for making yoga so accessable to so many! I've been using your site for a good couple of years. I'm currently in my third trimester of pregnancy and feel rather heavy, while not labelled at 'prenatel yoga' this gentle chair yoga is perfect for bringing space into my chest & shoulders, allowing for me to breath easier and is also releasing tension and fluid in my hands as I'm suffering with carpal tunnel syndrome due to fluid retention that pregnancy sometimes brings. I've needed to make no modifications, it's simply perfect and bringing me great releif at this late stage of pregnancy (along with many of the specific 'prenatal yoga' classes available here).
Universal amounts of gratitude for your work.
Namaste
I really enjoyed doing this, and with my crazy schedule, I love that I can do yoga at work. :)
David, thanks ones more. Ive been using your site for a while now and find great ispiration for myself and for my students.
I'm about to teach to a 88 years old with Parkinson desease and went through this session thinking of him, but hey ho, was so good for me too!
The beauty of small movements.
Thank you
