Is getting on-and-off the floor challenging for you? Whether confronted with injury or severe weight gain, the problem is the same: you don’t have the freedom to move as you wish, and this creates a lot of frustration.

You are getting depressed, and rightfully so.

I have been in the same place struggling with debilitating pain, unable to lie down, nor walk, not even drive. I hit a plateau where medication had no effect. Life wasn’t fun anymore: it was agony.

The doctor’s verdict was grim: I must have surgery or face paralysis of the left arm. But I listened to my inner voice: I heard about the healing potential of yoga and decided to give it a try.

Practicing through pain and with very limited ability to move made it harder then I thought. I quickly realized the difficulty of practicing without knowing how to modify poses and transitions for my specific problem.

Finally, it downed on me to use a chair, and that was the turning point. I didn’t have to get on and off the floor, which had been a big hindrance. I could approach a wide variety of poses as the chair allowed me to modify as needed.

Soon the pain decreased substantially.

From the darkness of those moments of pain and fear the idea for Anychair Yoga emerged. Now let me tell you what it can do for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I have no flexibility. Is this yoga program suitable for me?

• If you are not flexible, then this program is particularly suitable for you. Practicing yoga on the chair provides the much-needed support for you to relax in the poses while maintaining proper alignment. As you release tension from the muscle through supported, gentle stretches in combination with proper breathing your muscles will gradually lengthen yielding in time for more flexibility.

Q: I have never done any form of exercise. Would this program too complicated for me to follow along?

• This program is an ideal start into exercise. The guidance is very detailed, with options to follow in case you need modifications, and many pictures to complement the written instructions. The chair allows building up intensity in small increments to make your progress smooth and safe. After mastering the material in this book you may want to try the Anychair DVD, or move directly into a mat practice with Yoga Fundamentals DVD.

Q: I travel often by plane and I always arrive at destination with a painful back and stiff neck. Can this book give me any tips on quick recovery from such hassle?
