Sitting Yoga allows anyone, anywhere to experience Yoga

It’s that simple, but it doesn’t end there.

Sitting Yoga offers an opportunity to stop, to listen to our body, and to reflect on how we feel. We generally don’t realise how powerful and valuable this is for us.

Just a few minutes of stillness in a chair can change everything. We are sitting in chairs all of the time, so what makes this different? It’s all about connecting with our body and becoming aware of how we feel inside. Sitting Yoga essentially returns us to being with our body in a way that helps us to let go of stress and tension, bring focus and quiet the mind. You get to experience yourself without the noise and demands of the world inside you.

It’s not what you do, it’s how you do it.

We are moving all the time, but are we are aware of the quality of our movements and the impact this has on our body? Sitting Yoga brings emphasis to the quality of every movement. It’s through the quality of our movements that we then discover the depth and beauty of who we are inside. On auto-pilot we miss out on all of this. Sitting Yoga reminds us that we can enjoy being with ourselves in any activity or position. Sitting Yoga is a form of Esoteric Yoga, the Yoga of Stillness, that is accessible for everyone regardless of their age or physical abilities. It can be done anywhere because you don’t need anything other than a chair. Read about the history and background of Esoteric Yoga via the button below.
