Getting older doesn't mean you have to stop moving with confidence. Steady Steps: Chair Yoga for Seniors offers a practical, approachable way to stay active through gentle, supported seated exercises designed specifically for older adults.
This book focuses on the everyday abilities that matter most-standing up from a chair, walking more steadily, turning, reaching, managing stairs, and moving through daily life with greater control and confidence. The exercises are performed primarily from a sturdy chair, allowing you to work on strength, flexibility, mobility, coordination, stability, and body awareness without requiring complicated equipment or a demanding workout routine.
Inside, you'll discover:
Gentle chair yoga exercises for seniors that can be practiced at home
Seated movements for balance, mobility, flexibility, and coordination
Exercises targeting the hips, glutes, spine, shoulders, ankles, feet, hands, and core
Balance and stability exercises, including controlled weight shifting and sit-to-stand movements
Practical guidance for creating a safe chair yoga practice space
Simple modifications for days when your body needs a gentler approach
A 7-day introduction to help you establish the habit
A structured 14-day consistency plan with foundation, strength, balance, and coordination sessions
A 30-day program designed to help turn regular movement into a sustainable routine
Guidance for connecting your exercises to everyday activities and maintaining your progress over time
Rather than promising quick fixes or dramatic transformations, Steady Steps takes a steady, realistic approach. You'll learn how small, consistent movements can help you practice the physical skills behind everyday activities while developing greater awareness and confidence in your own body.
Whether you're new to exercise, returning to movement after a period of inactivity, or simply looking for a gentle senior fitness routine, this book gives you a clear starting point and a practical structure to keep going.
Your goal isn't to move perfectly. It's to keep moving-one steady step at a time.
