Chair Yoga - Leg Stretch & Lift: Boost Flexibility & Strength with These Simple Moves! Chair yoga is a fantastic way to improve flexibility, strength, and relaxation—especially for those with limited mobility. The leg stretch & lift is a powerful yet gentle pose that enhances circulation, tones muscles, and relieves tension. Here’s how to do it safely and effectively: Sit Tall: Begin by sitting upright in a sturdy chair, feet flat on the floor, and hands resting on your thighs. Engage your core for stability. Leg Stretch: Slowly extend one leg straight out, flexing your foot. Hold for 10-15 seconds, feeling the stretch in your hamstrings. Leg Lift: Keeping the leg straight, lift it a few inches higher (only as far as comfortable). Hold for 5-10 seconds, then lower gently. Switch Sides: Repeat with the opposite leg. Benefits of Chair Yoga Leg Stretch & Lift: Improves Circulation: Helps prevent blood pooling in the legs. Strengthens Muscles: Targets quadriceps, hamstrings, and core.
