Chair Yoga Exercises: Stretches and Techniques

5. Forward Fold

The seated Forward Fold stretches you from head to toe. This can encourage deep breathing and reduce tightness in the neck, shoulders, hips, and legs.

Sitting at the edge of your seat, stretch your legs diagonally in front of you. Your heels should touch the floor with your toes sticking upward. Inhale while lifting your hands overhead, then exhale while folding toward your legs. Let your head drop, relax your neck, and drop your shoulders away from your ears. Hold for 5-10 breaths, then slowly roll all the way up.
