[@sheralync5854]

thank you for this video. I got a yoga chair for christmas. I had some injuries, so flexibility is currently restricted. Floor work is very awkward. Chair really helped. :-)

[@DesaYogiIyengarYoga]

Brilliant! The chair has so many options. Be curious and find new ways to develop your practice while you heal your body. Namaste

[@ch3and]

Just got a chair and bolster so this was a blessing this morning. Thank you! I will be returning to this video again. Do you host any yoga retreats Kathy?

[@DesaYogiIyengarYoga]

Congratulations Chand! This will open so many possibilities for you. Chand, there is nothing planned this year but probably next year. Where are you located? Enjoy your practice! 🙏🏻

[@ushanarendran1038]

It will be very helpful if you can tell us about benefits of these asanas also.

[@DesaYogiIyengarYoga]

whenever we use the chair we can hold poses longer so the benefits are more quieting and more fully absorbed to each cell. The sequence created length and space in the trunk and the abdominal area, with the twisting stimulation in the stomach, great for digestion, strengthen of the abdominal organs, length through the hamstrings, great for back tone and release as well as being restorative due to head resting and heart being inverted. Thanks for going me. Namaste

[@ushanarendran1038]

🙏Thank you very much for your detailed reply. I am also almost your age and practicing yoga for the past three years .

[@anhbook3964]

Hi Kathyji, in the pointime 32:06 related dandasana posture "Dandasana from chair, arms backward on seat" means chair in behind of the back ? Thank you !

[@DesaYogiIyengarYoga]

Anh, dandasana with the chair - arms moving forward to hold the rail, create length, maintain, then move hands to seat and finally crossing the arms rest the head. Thanks for your keen awareness to details. I hope I answered your question. Namaste, Kathy
