Work off that turkey, here's your chair yoga pose for the week!

Remember 'pigeon' pose I shared a couple weeks ago? Well now here is a way to stretch even more!

IF YOU CAN NOT LIFT LEG NO WORRIES CAN BE MODIFIED

1. Sit up straight in chair or wheelchair, with back off chair
2. Make sure feet are shoulder width apart
3. Bring left leg onto right knee
4. Inhale, lower body down slowly from hips, only go as far as you can, you should feel stretch in your hips & groin area mostly
5. Come back up, slowly exhaling, return to straight posture, Repeat 3 times then go to other leg



 *if you CAN lift leg but need a little help, use a stretchy exercise band to help lift leg, just place under foot securely & lift*


MODIFICATION

1. Sit up straight in chair or wheelchair, with back off chair
2. Cross feet at ankles, place one hand on each knee
3. Inhale, lower body down slowly from hips, only go as far as you can, you will feel this in your back & legs
4. Come back up, slowly exhaling, return to straight posture, Repeat 3 times
