Chair Yoga for Every Body

Imagine discovering that the chair you sit in every day is not a barrier to your yoga practice—but a gateway to it. Over three transformative days at Satchidananda Ashram – Yogaville in Buckingham, Virginia, you'll learn that chair yoga is not a simplified or "lesser" practice. It's a complete, dignified path to building strength, balance, flexibility, and deep postural awareness, regardless of your age, fitness level, or physical circumstances.

Led by Satya Greenstone, an Integral Yoga teacher with over fifty years of training since 1971, this workshop welcomes everyone—whether you're recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, living with arthritis or hypertension, navigating stress and anxiety, or simply seeking a gentle yet powerful entry into yogic practice. Satya's grounded, compassionate approach meets you exactly where you are, offering personalized poses with thoughtful variations so you can move at your own pace and within your own capacity.

This isn't about limitation. It's about access, dignity, and discovering that the body you have right now is the perfect body to begin.

What to Expect

Over three days, you'll experience a complete yoga practice adapted beautifully for the chair. Each session weaves together:

- Asana (postures) with personalized variations that build functional strength and balance
- Pranayama (breathing practices) to calm the nervous system and expand vital energy
- Meditation and deep relaxation techniques for mental clarity and inner peace
- Postural awareness work that transforms how you inhabit your body in daily life

The atmosphere is warm, unhurried, and deeply supportive. You'll work alongside others on similar journeys while receiving individual attention. By the end of the workshop, you'll have a personal toolkit of practices you can continue at home—addressing concerns like fatigue, stress, weight management, and chronic conditions while building genuine strength and ease in your body.
