New Technique Easier On Limbs!

The Sitting Mountain Chair Yoga system will appeal to a wide audience. All of you who sit ... at desks, in cars, on airplanes, or in wheelchairs ... and want or need an afternoon "pick-me-up."

Chair Yoga will also benefit those of you who have a physical condition that may require you to exercise on a chair. Issues such as rheumatoid arthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, stroke, or osteoporosis. It is also an excellent form of yoga and exercise for those who do not want to or cannot get down on the floor, yet desire the same benefits and results of traditional yoga.

The Sitting Mountain Series has a tremendous potential in the corporate setting as well. Chair Yoga can be used by those of you who are unable to get regular exercise while at work. It will provide a stress-free workout which can be done in the comfort of your own chair without having to leave the office!

Lakshmi Voelker's Chair Yoga provides an avenue for oxygenating the body and mind for increased productivity. As the body becomes more flexible and the mind more centered, the worker obtains energy boosts without such stimulants as caffeine, nicotine, and sugars!

> One Red, Heart-shaped, Chair Yoga Bhakti Mat.
> One CD or Cassette containing one 30-minute and two 15-minute Yoga Sessions.

Excerpt from article by Associated Press:

Voelker-Binder discovered chair yoga in the late 1980s when she was teaching a mat class and one of her students, Candace Terry, developed rheumatoid arthritis. Terry, who was in her 30s when they met, said her arthritis was so severe she had difficulty dressing herself or opening a car door ? much less doing form poses on her hands and knees.

Lakshmi understood my predicament, said Terry, now 53. It?s a gentle way of teaching people to experience it as best as they can, which is very encouraging.

Terry said she saw gradual improvements in her health as she practiced chair yoga daily for about five years after being diagnosed with arthritis.

I feel that between yoga, good nutrition and other things I?ve done in my life, I?ve beat the odds compared with many people stricken with the disease, she said.
