Creative Chair Yoga with Karen James

Today we have a delightful conversation with Karen James, a creative teacher of accessible yoga, based in the UK. In this episode, you'll "discover the joy of sitting on a chair," as Karen puts it, and how chair yoga can be beneficial for just about anyone. You'll hear how Karen went from "power yoga" to feeling more empowered through gentle yoga, and how it helped her connect with her authentic self in new ways. We talk about how creativity enhances both the enjoyment and the accessibility of the practice, and you'll hear Karen describe how she comes up with fluid and interesting sequences using the chair. We also reflect on safety, practicing yoga online, and the role of hands-on adjustments during in-person classes. And, in true creative fashion, we end the episode with one of Karen's poems (which I think you will absolutely love)!
