Lore Kent’s Long Island Chair Yoga^TM starts off with a seated "Chair Pose" similar to the mat version of "Mountain Pose." This is the pose we always return to for a feeling of peace and grounded–ness. From "Chair Pose" we create a connection with our breath and allow the unique rhythm of our breath to sustain us throughout our Chair Yoga practice. We then practice various yoga postures, ranging from forward bending to back bending, twisting, hip–openers, balancing postures, heart–opening postures and a variety of sun salutations. Breathing exercises are generally integrated at the beginning and end of the physical yoga practice. Chanting, meditation, visualization and inspirational readings are weaved into the Chair Yoga practice at different times depending on what the particular needs of the individual or group may be.

Similar to mat yoga, everyone works at their own individual pace and level of ability. Modifications and variations are introduced for each posture so that "every body" can find their level of comfort. Yogis are always encouraged to expand and explore their physical and emotional bodies — yet we always expand and explore with compassion and "mindfulness." Based on the particular needs and abilities of the group that Lore is working with, yogis have the option of remaining in the chair for the entire yoga practice or occasionally standing and using the chair for support and balance.

Lore’s invigorating, energizing and empowering Long Island Chair Yoga allows you to benefit from all aspects of traditional yoga while sitting in a comfortable chair! Absolutely "every–body" can benefit from a chair yoga experience, especially in the following settings:
