TRIVIA TODAY - Monday, December 2, 2013
Greetings Infomaniacs,Last week at the library we hosted a program called Chair Yoga, which is, as the name implies, a form of yoga practiced using a chair. The owner of the yoga studio down the street was kind enough to come and lead a session for our patrons, and it was a huge success!
What's great about this form of yoga is that it can be done by all ages and fitness levels. The support of a chair helps to hold balance and form, and I found it was easier to focus on my breathing and relaxation. For me, it was also less intimidating than trying to keep my balance on a mat!
Here's an article that explains more about it, and offers some poses for you to try!Enjoy!
