"I read this book and it's easy to follow. It has a lot of useful information about how important nutrition is for getting the best out of your work out. The illustrations make the chair yoga exercises easy to follow. I think this book would also be good for any age group trying to get back in shape and also for care givers."

GMA R

"Excellent comprehensive take on Chair Yoga for Seniors. As a clinician that uses various chair poses for my elderly population, this book has been a great resource, with easy to follow instructions and descriptions for not only my patients but fellow clinicians that are not as familiar with chair yoga. Poses show modifications and each pose has it's "purpose" listed which my patients very much appreciate! The Balance and fall prevention poses are a staple in most of my home exercise programs for my patient's."
