Chair pose is one of those challenging poses in yoga and I am speaking from experience, during my yoga teacher training, my head teacher took delight in keeping myself and my teammates in chair pose. I didn't really understand at the beginning why, but the more I gave myself into the pose, the easier it became.
Those who practice yoga will know this, chair pose is not a fun pose...
But, I learned these about chair pose...
1.Chair pose works using bone to bone connection. Mainly targeting the joints, thereby engaging every part of the body from the head to toes.
2.Chair pose keeps one focused during practice as it engages the senses.
3.Chair pose tones the muscles of the buttocks, quadriceps and calves that's why there's a burning effect in these areas of the body during practice.
4.Chair pose improves strength and stamina, I have learned that beginners gain strength and more stamina with the practice of chair pose.
But, opening your heart to the pose makes it a lot easier.
5.Constant practice of chair pose makes flexibility a reality.
No matter how rigid a person is, chair pose has a way of breaking down walls of rigidity and improve flexibility.
These and many more are physical benefits of chair pose,
Now, you may ask what is the proper alignment for chair pose?
This is a very important question because without the proper alignment one cannot enjoy these amazing benefits of chair pose.
Chair Pose Alignment
1.While you're standing close your legs and thighs together in such a way that your toes are touching each other.
2.Squat down, lowering your hips.
3.Keep your waist neutral
4.Tuck your stomach in
5.lift your hands up both fingers facing each other.
6.Take your gaze down and see if you can see your toes, if you can't see your toes, adjust yourself as needed.
7.Stay in the pose for at least 10breaths or 5breaths for beginners and as you do try to sink your hips deeper
8.Allow yourself to feel the discomfort,go through the process and stay true to yourself.
Just breathe...
As simple as that!
Hope you practice your chair pose with the proper alignment now...
Thanks, for your time!
