Yoga: Chair Pose

yoga: Chair Pose

Benefits

Slimming Principle

• Fully stretches the tendons in the lower legs, eliminates excess fat in the legs, and increases flexibility in the knee and ankle joints.

• Promotes blood circulation in the lower body, improves cold feet, reduces leg swelling, and alleviates soreness.

Steps

1 Place the chair against the wall and sit on it. Lift both feet off the ground, bend both knees, and place the heels on the seat of the chair. Embrace your shins with both hands.

2 Rest your forehead on your knees, breathe evenly, and relax your shoulders.

3 Using your hips as a pivot, grip the back of both legs with your hands and pull upwards, bringing the thighs closer to the upper body.

4 With hands firmly holding the toes, continue to stretch the legs upwards until they are fully extended, forming a "V" shape with the body. Hold the pose for 15 seconds.

Repeat 2 times

5 Inhale, hug the ankles with both hands, bringing the chest, waist, and abdomen close to the thighs, and touch the forehead to the legs. Hold the pose for 10 seconds, return to a seated position, and relax the whole body.

Warm Tips

Listen to your body, avoid overexertion, perform the movements slowly, and avoid sudden force. Do not pursue the "perfect" form; stretching to your comfortable limit is already correct.
