Strengthen Your Core with 3 Fast & Effective Chair Yoga Moves

You don’t need a gym or even a mat to build a strong core, your chair is all you need!

A strong core not only looks great but also helps improve posture, reduce back pain, and make everyday movements easier.

Best Accessible Chair Yoga Exercises to Strengthen Your Core:

Knee Lifts:

Sit tall with your feet flat. Clasp your hands beneath your chair. Slowly lift one knee toward your chest, lower it, and repeat on the other side. Continue with this movement keeping your navel back towards your spine, moving slow and controlled. Repeat 15 x per leg.

Seated Twist:

Sit at the edge of your chair, feet flat. Hold your hands together in front of you. Tighten your core and gently rotate your torso to one side, then the other. Continue gently twisting from right to left, keeping your spine long. Maintain your hips facing forward, moving from your waist rather than your hips, arms or shoulders, activating your obliques. Repeat 15 x per side.

Lean Backs:

Sitting tall, cross your arms out in front of your chest. Brace through your core, drawing your navel back towards your spine. Lean back slightly, keeping your spine straight, then return to upright. Continue moving slow and controlled, using your core to stabilize this movement, gradually increasing your range of motion. Do 15 x for 2 sets

Try these simple moves daily for a strong & stable core right from your chair!
