Practising yoga with support from a chair and/or wall can be very liberating and different. What the physical body may struggle with in a regular asana may be made easier with a chair or a wall. Poses can be held longer so that you truly feel the effects of the pose and its desired opening.
While it sounds like using a chair and/or wall for a yoga practice may make it easier, the possibilities are also endless to use the same props to enter more advanced poses like deeper backbends and inversions. It’s not what you think!
Give it a go if you have never practised in such a class before. While many of the asanas are Iyengar-inspired, there are many modern interpretations of how to use the yoga chair too. Suitable for everyone, whether you have any yoga experience or not.
