Chair Yoga Improves Blood Circulation in the Feet

Last week, a new student to chair yoga cited challenges from her arthritis, high blood pressure and diabetes as limits to her mobility and desire to exercise. The student also complained of poor posture. Fortunately, our chair yoga class is designed to gently develop a rhythm and balance to breathing and movement.
We applied our 90 degree rule to develop right angles at our main joints. The ankles, knees, hips, elbows and chin were positioned to nearly this position. With the feet flat on the floor and spine extended upward, we explored full even breathing and gentle weight bearing movements. By the end of class, our new student was able to sit in a more upright position and breathe with less constraint. The gentle pumping of her feet caused the purple magenta color of her feet to change to patches of pink, flesh colored skin. Her family was amazed.
