What we stretch, we must also strengthen. This is one of the reasons I am continually drawn to yoga. The balance that is required of us is unmatched in any other movement modality I have experienced. In this TCM Earth Chair Yoga flow, we opened our hips while sitting, used our deep stabilizer muscles to balance in tree pose while standing behind the chair, and then we had a deep release through our quads using yoga straps looper around the top of the foot.

Our focus for September is on the TCM element, Earth — for this practice, we focused on the way we move into and out of each asana or yoga pose to notice where we feel supported and which muscles are recruited. This time of year is when we are transitioning from Summer into Autumn, slowing down or contracting, which allows for more space to explore the in between moments.

I’ve recently been invited to lead an hour long chair yoga class at one of the local churches once a week. We are exploring chair yoga to create awareness, increase range of motion, and build strength within the aging population.

Remember to repeat each sequence for both left and right sides.
