#Mobility #ChairYoga #YogaAndYou

Relieve knee pain with gentle yoga for seniors. This chair-based sequence helps you improve mobility and strengthen your knees safely.

Sanjana leads this session specifically for seniors experiencing discomfort in the knee joint. By focusing on low-impact movements, we prioritize safety while building stability. This routine is designed to be accessible, using chair-based poses to remove the strain of getting up and down from the floor.

We start with essential toe and ankle mobility exercises, which serve as the foundation for better joint alignment. From there, you will move into seated stretches and a gentle bridge pose to activate the muscles around the knee. Consistent practice of these knee strengthening exercises can help you manage daily movement with more comfort and confidence.

Whether you are dealing with stiffness or simply want to maintain joint health, these movements provide a practical approach to knee pain relief. This sequence fits easily into your daily schedule, offering a sustainable way to keep moving comfortably.
