3. SOUNDBITE (English) Marian Rivman, Yoga Practitioner:
"You’re stretching your whole body. I mean, you’re getting all the joints at one point or another. And also what you can do in a chair is that it’s a little bit more forgiving on the knees and on the hips. So as you age, it allows you to get into positions that you were doing standing, with the use of the chair and then being able to really do the pose without hurting yourself."
4. Various of yoga class
5. Various of yoga class practitioners
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Harriet Luria, Yoga Practitioner:
"I took it up because I have osteoporosis and the chair yoga is much easier. You don’t have to worry as much about falling and breaking anything. It is not as difficult as I thought it would be, but it’s not easy. And you really do use your muscles. It’s an excellent workout."
7. Cutaway various yoga chair class instructor
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Whitney Chapman, Yoga Instructor:
"The very first time in a yoga class I brought in the chair. All of my students said, I don’t want geriatric yoga. I’m not an old person. And then they saw that just having a chair. It’s another prop that’s going to help you do what you want to do. So it’s not necessarily because you’re older, but it can be helpful and it doesn’t mean you’re geriatric just because you’re sitting in a chair."
9. Medium yoga class practitioners
10. Various of yoga class practitioners
11. Slow push out of yoga class
12. SOUNDBITE (English) Marian Rivman, Yoga Practitioner:
"Start. And if you want to start where you can really feel like you’re confident and in control. Start in a chair. Get into a chair and do some yoga."
