Part 4/7:
To enhance strength, the practice introduces various leg movements. Participants engage their core while lifting their heels and toes alternately, reinforcing stability in the lower body. The focus on engaging the pelvic floor and hip flexors fosters independence in movement, teaching practitioners to rely on their muscles for support rather than solely on their hands.
Chair yoga offers a safe space for individuals to modify movements according to their comfort levels. The instructor encourages participants to listen to their bodies, reminding them it is perfectly acceptable to perform one leg lift at a time if full engagement becomes strenuous.
