Setting Up Your Space
Before starting your chair yoga practice, it's important to set up a comfortable and safe space. Find a chair that is sturdy and stable, with no wheels or arms that may hinder your movements. Place the chair on a non-slip surface to prevent any accidents during your practice. Make sure you have enough space around the chair to fully extend your arms and legs without any obstructions.
Be mindful of your surroundings and remove any potential hazards such as sharp objects or clutter that may cause accidents. Consider adding props such as a blanket or cushion to support your practice and make it more comfortable. Set the mood by dimming the lights, playing calming music, or lighting a candle to create a relaxing atmosphere for your chair yoga practice.
