Flexibility is considered to be a "by product"
of Yoga practice, but in the case of Chair Yoga, it is often "down
played" or taken for granted. Since
most Chair Yoga enthusiasts are seniors, the true value of flexibility is
mobility. When you consider that
mobility for seniors can be the difference between dependence and independence,
flexibility is now of extreme value.
The following is an observation I have made after
working with groups from assisted living complexes, adult day care centers,
nursing homes, and seniors centers. The
average mobile senior citizen is much more flexible in the hips, spine, wrists,
and shoulders, than his or her dependent counterpart.
