Thank you so much. I’m 89 years old, a recent widow, and I am recovering from a mild stroke. These exercises are going to help me both physically and mentally. I’ll watch you every day.
Chair yoga is awesome for everybody. Glad you found something for you.
Thank You, I am a stroke survivor and today is my first day of doing chair yoga.
I'm a senior now and due to chronic back pain, I don't move much now but I have always been very active until now. Sadly, I have gained weight I have never carried before and I must push through to find me again. Through loss of all of my family and depression, I choose to fight. Thank you for this! God Bless You.
Sending you nothing but love 💕

And a relationship with you Dear Lord that’s like none other.
God Richly Bless You my friend.❤🎉😊

I've just started doing your yoga classes. I've been doing yoga for 5 yrs and being 73 was finding studio classes not really to my liking and couldn't get the teacher I liked at the classes I attended. I decided to give your classes a go. I have loved every one I have done, which makes me want to do a class every morning, mostly 30 mins. I was worried that I would not be disciplined enough to stick to it but I have and look forward to a new one every morning. I walk for an hour every morning at 5.30am so by 8.30 my body is ready to do whatever class I choose. Kassandra thank you so much for your great classes and being a pensioner the free classes are much appreciated. I live in Darwin, Australia.
I'm turning 71 tomorrow and new to chair yoga. This was a great video! I am in desperate need of muscle strength and flexibility. I look forward to seeing your videos! I just subscribed!
I have been doing 2 of your online yoga classes every day for 8-10 weeks. OMG I have no hip pain at all at night or anytime during the day. I was never an exercise person but if I can't commit to a half hour a day at age 66 years old in retirement then I have an issue. Thank you so much Kassandra . I will at some point get my hips off the chair can feel I am much stronger and love the twists.
I'm 76 and started doing yoga 20 years ago. I had total hip replacement 6 weeks ago and started doing chair yoga this week to help loosen up and strengthen muscles I haven't been able to use for almost three months. I would love to see more chair yoga classes. I enjoyed this one very much.
My wife is so happy she found this, she does the routine twice before bed and is able to sleep. 🙂
Im 162 never tried yoga before, im glad i came across this video because now i can finally say i really dont wanna try it
Thank you for this program. I am 81 years old, and have been enjoying it, since Covid cancellation of classes! Love it!
I have a chronic autoimmune disease that has created pain and issues preventing me from regular yoga. After an unexpected surgery this winter I found this video and continue my practice daily. Thank you for sharing this wonderfully gentle practice with those in need.
I've been doing your morning 10 minutes yoga stretches and 15 minute gentle flow routines now for four weeks. Unfortunately, I had a fall on a slippery patio two days ago, so I've just started doing your chair yoga as I can't go on my knee.
Thank you so much. It's really helping my mindset in the morning and getting my body thing 😊
I’m 65. I’ve fallen multiple times r/t strokes. I love yoga and this is so much easier on my legs. Ty.
Excellent video. Thank you. I started chair yoga this month and I love it. I think it's a great way to ease into floor yoga!!
I'm 70 years old, and recovering from a severe injury to the vestibular nerve in my left inner ear, which led to serious balance issues. Along with physical therapy, this chair yoga class has been very helpful for regaining my balance, flexibility and strength. Thanks, Kassandra!
This was amazing! I'm in my late 30's but disabled. I had back surgery and then a difficult pregnancy so it's been hard to get back to fitness. I felt amazing after this. I've never tried chair yoga but loved this thanks for creating ❤What a great way to energize to start the day, beat the afternoon slump or feel relaxed before bed
Thank you for this video. I am 59 and work from home and I do not get any type of exercise. Figured this would be a good start and I didn't realize HOW out of shape I was until I did your class thinking it would be really easy and it wasn't BUT I loved it!!
I'm 74 and have strength and balance issues so chair yoga is a wonderful way to improve my flexibility without having to get on the floor since getting up and down is challenging right now. The chair yoga gives me a boost of energy in the morning!
That's wonderful that you've found such benefits of chair yoga. This practice is wonderful, and Kassandra is an incredible instructor!
I’m a paraplegic who was an avid enthusiast prior to my injury, 42 years ago. I can’t do a couple of the moves in your video, so I just adapt and do what I can. Thank you so much for the video. I feel energized!
Kathy, Thats amazing!! Keep it up!😁
My name is Angie. I have Multiple Sclerosis so my symptoms come and go.
I have had it since 1989...i am in a relapse now and yoga seems to help.😊thanks for your video!!😁
Good class
Kassandra I ' ve n
been taking a part of chair yoga with Kassandra ever since I was introduced to your video. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis after completing Yoga DVD' s . I had all ready been involved with yoga
The lead up to Chair Yoga involved a fall. I was exiting a vehicle when II was sent to a
an MD - Brian. The cause of the injury was ' wear & tear'. Thank you Kassandra for being a part of my life?
Thank you for this class. I am 70, andI've been doing a 15 min. on mat yoga routine every morning, but didn't find it very satisfying. I tried your chair yoga and loved it. Thank you!
Hi Kassandra, Thank you so much for putting this FREE chair yoga on line. I hope I'm right in saying everyone who is stuck not able to get out and do things and are motivated to at least try and get fit will appreciate your kindness and support. Especially as your giving it freely. God bless you namasta 🙏
I really enjoyed this, thank you✨️👩🌾
I'm retired but work part-time as a middle/high-school lunchlady. I've done yoga since my 20's on and off.
Your class was exactly what I needed. I get plenty of lifting(!) reaching and running at work..
I love this gentle version of old familiars.. refreshing and therapeutic 🧘♀️
Thank you so much for your video. As an RA /OA patient with a torn meniscus injured knee you offer me a wonderful way to get my joints moving safely. Thanks again.
Thank you. This was just what I needed. I’m 72 years old and am healing from breaking both bones in my right,dominant, wrist. I’m heading to buy your chair yoga program-Claudia
This is a great class for rehab from surgery, as I am needing at this time. I enjoy your style, Kassandra....not too many cues to overwhelm or irritate the experience. Your authenticity shines bright! TY ❤❤❤
My daughter has been encouraging me to try yoga for years. I tried just a few times and found it so frustrating but then realized the yoga I was going to with a friend was way above my level as a beginner and a senior. I'm 67 years old and just today found your channel and tried the chair yoga. I never realized how out of shape I was until I finished this! It looks so easy when you do it but I can barely move my arms and legs in these positions. I did get frustrated initially but stuck with it and I can really feel a difference. I'm sure I'll feel it even more tomorrow when I wake up but I will keep at it. Will get to it again tomorrow morning - thank you so much. If I can do what you do in this video I will feel really accomplished. Shouldn't take me more than a year or so LOL
hope you are doing great!
Keep it up look at my post. Do every day I do two 15 mins and feel great. My hips feel great and lots of pain prior.
Thank you so much Kassandra, this morning routine has greatly helped my flexibility and overall movement...!
Beautiful flow! Definitely going to try this with my students! Thanks for sharing!❤❤
Thank you. This is wonderful. Might join in with the program further on, but the wake up of my muscles is already very encouraging with this. I am a 69-year-old spine-fused woman with a drop foot and just could never do yoga again so thank you.
just turned 63 yesterday, found your chair yoga 2 weeks ago and love it.never saw myself doing yoga trust me
Thank you so much for this. I'm 57 and have been working out for years. I practiced yoga and ironically got a shoulder injury. I'm on the mend from a back injury from pickleball (stereotypical 😅) and heard about chair yoga. This lesson is great and I'm going to continue doing it and probably more. It's the only stretching that hasn't hurt my back. Thanks!
It's good you found something that works for you. That's what I like about yoga, there's always something anybody can do. 😃
I am 74, 75 in May and took my first Chair Yoga class on Monday. This class is great for me to do for days before my next Monday class. Thanks so much!
Thank you for this. I'm recovering from a long illness on top of a knee injury and this is perfect for me.
Thank you so much. I have gained so much weight and have lost mobility but this program is wonderful. I could not finish day 1 but day 2, I was able to finish.
😃
OMGosh, 68 and have not stretched by body like that for 10 years. Bad knees and athritis in spine. But I really like this and for the first time in a very long time my body feels alive. Thank you.
I just started doing Yoga. My work is offering free classes twice a month so I thought why not try it. I am really liking it and your video is fantastic. Thank you for creating this video. All I can say is if you have ever wanted to try Yoga and think you can't; I am here to say yes you can. I am 64, overweight and this is the best way to introduce yourself into an exercise program.
In the past 16 months, I've had a shoulder replacement, carpal tunnel surgery on both wrists and a femur fracture and meniscus tear. Plus I turned 65, so I was very nervous about doing many movements and this has been a great way to regain some flexibility in a safe way. Thank you!
I am 80 and knee problems have limited my usual daily walks. I loved this video.It provides much more exercise than I would have imagined. Thank you so very much.
I have watched many yoga videos and this is the best for me. Kassandra takes me through the exercises so slowly I can keep up learn the proper technique.
I am a dancer and yoga teacher that has a fracture in my foot, and I am so grateful there is chair yoga for me to do while I heal. Such a blessing. Thank you for all you do, Kassie!
Thank you for this video content, Kassandra! I am recovering from a stubborn upper respiratory infection, and appreciate being able to do more gentle yoga practices like this. ❤
Excellent stretches. Thank you
Just finished my first session with your “gentle chair yoga for beginners and seniors”. I haven’t exercised in quite some time and have gained a lot of weight but because of a bad back and bad neck, I haven’t been able to exercise. This was the first exercise that I have tried that I didn’t feel like I was in pain as I did it I will definitely be looking into more of your videos. Thank you so much.
Wow, this a bit of a work out. First time I am trying this. It was recommended to me by a friend of mine as I espressed to her that I needed to find some chair exercises to do. Just to begin to do something. Just for info, I am a big guy at 65 years with knee issues. So doing what I used to do it is not feasible at this time. So I am walking my way back to health with different options. Like this chair yoga. I did as much as I could. I will continue to do this and see how it works for me. Thank you for setting this up.
Had mouth surgery and the doctor recommended me to avoid looking down, or taking poses with my head low. I truly needed some stretching and this really helped (normally I follow daily beginner/intermediate videos from Kassandra). Of course I avoided folding but at least I could do some poses and my body is really grateful for it. Thank you Kassandra ❤️
Yes! We love chair yoga. You can really focus on the body. It's about what you can do, not what you look like.
I had used a yoga app for several years and while never getting beyond a beginner level, I was able to do all of the poses. Due to new health challenges, I am no longer able to do yoga on the mat/floor. I have switched to chair yoga and purchased your class on Udemy and have really enjoyed it. For the past month I have been unable to exercise and now need shorter sessions than the 30 minute classes. This video is perfect for where I am now. I would appreciate additional beginner chair yoga classes on TH-cam that are less than 30 minutes. Thank you Kassandra.
I your class. I am 73, looking for resistance stretches and this feels like it works. Thank you
I really love this video. I practiced yoga for a few years about 7 years ago but haven't since so I need to ease into it. Also, I have a hip injury that I'm trying to heal and this seems about right for that too. My only criticism, is that the lighting is so bright against you and the light background that it's hard to see you very clearly when sitting away from the computer far enough to do the poses.
Ideal yoga when you are almost 60 ! Please please please MORE chair yoga for al the European fans.
Thank you very much indeed !
Perfect for my 96year old mom! Love that all moves can be performed in a chair.
Thank you Kassandra. I am 72 and have been walking a lot and now my hip is bothering me so I'm trying to become more flexible. This is a great class.
Me also looking for other ways to keep body flexible.
Dealing with ankle injury..this practice was perfect way to keep doing yoga while I am healing.
I cant wait to do this. a friend shared your page wit me. I used to be 150lbs and worked out hard, so hard I am 40 with arthritis so bad in my knees it hurts to move. I have permanent damage to my tendons in my wrists, fractured my tailbone 5 times, and have complications from a broken ankle. I also have COPD. Im trying to work out again so I look forward to your videos. I am 300lbs now and looing to be 150 by december 2021
Thank -you much , I am a senior and suffer with so much pain lower and upper and this morning your class has made me feel so so good god bless you sweet one
Thanks for the class, would love to see more chair yoga class options. 😊
Hi Kassandra
Thank you so much for this. i have been doing your 30 day programmes for a few years now and love them. However, I recently broke my ankle so searched for chair yoga. I have also been on the mat trying some poses without weight bearing on my right leg. I wondered if you did any others what would accommodate a broken ankle. Your classes are amazing and motivating. Thank you!
Yes, more chair yoga for us experienced yogis who have injuries. I hurt my knee and am trying to resist doing my usual yoga practice. This is a great in-between so I can still do my daily yoga but also protect my knee from further injury. Thanks!
Thank you so much. This is perfect. Your instructions are awesome, as is your class.
started with this yesterday. i am 63 and have hip, back and knee problems. this was hard but i am hoping it will become a bit easier if i do this daily.
I'm pregnant and post-operative. This was perfect. Thank you 💜
I love yoga. After a TBI left me with extreme balance issues, I had to give up yoga. I am so grateful that I found your channel!
Just wanted to say a huge thank you! I’ve had 5 major abdominal/spinal surgeries in recent years. (A 6th one due in the next few months). I’ve been trying to get back to doing yoga and pilates stretches to recover my fitness but have found even previously simple stretches a challenge. This chair yoga session was so manageable and it felt great to finally achieve some really active stretches. I plan to do these daily between now and the next surgery to help strengthen my core muscles and then resume them as soon as I’m able post surgery. Hopefully in time I’ll be able to get back to doing regular yoga and pilates sessions. In the meantime completing a productive exercise session has felt empowering.
I’m 70. and I miss the senior Yoga they had at the Sr Center before COVID.
My wife has vertigo so yoga with a lot of bending is out of the question. Most of these will be good for her and the few where the head is to go down, she can just do as far as she's comfortable with. Your voice is soothing and helps me to focus because my mind tends to wander...a lot. Thank you
Thanks so much for this chair yoga session. I’ve been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Prior to my disability, I was a runner and dancer. I’ve been advised now to be gentle with my body through gentle walks and yoga. This is a great start for me.
Maria, I too have fibromyalgia, I am 60 and I can tell you yoga every day has really, really helped me both with pain control and strengthening muscles. Good luck! :)
44 and rehabbing a double knee injury and this is by far the best I’ve ever found online so far, I love how much detail and understanding of pain and modification you are aware of with gentle posture attention in the midst of each vinyasa and it feels like I’m in class with you in person. Thank you for this gift, as a former athletic trainer I am impressed and look forward to supporting the channel and program
Before starting Yoga, I express gratitude to Maharishi Patanjali, who gave us the Yoga Sutra. It feels amazing and peaceful
I am now doing security at nights and am getting no exercise, due to icy conditions and low energy with nightshifts, I also became a diabetic and gained easily 60lbs. I was amazed how this broke me into yoga again and helped me get over injuries also! I normally do carpentry and am active and had given up due to Old age, so glad I found you and hope my girlfriend gets into it, so we can do it together!
Kassandra, i'm dealing with an ankle injury. This was a perfect practice to start me day. Thanks! ❤️
Me too. Good luck
Thanks so much for your chair yoga I'm 73 years old and wanted to do yoga to help with lower back and have arthritis infringers on both hands
thank you Kassandra, you're helping my knee injury and lifting my spirit :)
My daughter told me about your sessions, your her favorite. I agree with her, thank you and I'll be back.
I had bariatric surgery on 12/18/2023. I am hoping this will help boost the weight loss and help me get in shape at the same time!
I am 52 I'm over weight according to my bmi so I am gonna start doing some beginner exercises treadmill some toning I will be using this chair yoga 1-2 Thanks so much
I'm healing after a knee surgery and this is exactly what I needed. I can't bend my left knee so I had to adjust some poses so they worked for me. Thank you so much for posting this.
Thanks a lot! Just with a knee injury and found this! Already bought your class, this made my day. Namasté 🙏🧡
My body thanks you as I rest my hip and try to stay active.
Thank you so much for this! I injured my foot so this has been a good break from the 30 day morning yoga I was doing! Really great to be back into yoga after a few days off ❤️
My New Years resolution!,Never done yoga,highly recommended! Since I’m 76 years old the chair yoga seems perfect for me to start.
Am working through a knee injury and absolutely loved this class. Thank you Kassandra for lightening my heart today.
I have a bad shoulder and am happy I found you. I stopped doing workouts because my should has no strength and limited mobility. I found that I can actually do these exercises and not hate my shoulder for not working right anymore. Thank you.
How great. i am 78 and cannit do a lot of the poses due to my balance . This is perfect. Thank you so much
Thank you! My father who is in recovery from suffering a stroke took your class and loved it! We will be doing more :)
I'm out with a knee injury and decided I want to practice yoga more now and once I get better. I'm so grateful to have found this chair yoga practice. I feel like I can actually do some yoga instead of just visualizing it like I have been doing. TYVM.
This will help my Mom Thank You
I was really surprised by how much of a stretch I was able to really get while in the chair! Thank you so much for this, I have funky knees. I appreciate you ❤
I have had sciatica for 2.5 months. I had a shot in my back two days ago. PT did not work. I just did your chair yoga with you. I am encouraged, trying to get more flexible again. Thank you!
I just finished this routine after 10 days of bedrest and 2 hospital visits.....THANK YOU!!!!!!!! That just gave me a huge boost of confidence toward my recovery
I am 4 weeks post op for a mastectomy and this was really helpful since I can't put too much pressure on my upper body yet. Thank you for the great video!
My Mom and I love your chair yoga classes. We look forward to more.
My body feels it after a 9.5 hour medical shift on my feet. This really helped me to stretch out my whole body. Thank you!
I do a lot of your “regular” classes already, but as someone with a chronic illness that causes pain and fatigue I really appreciate you making this class! I love your yin routines for pain management and I could see this also being a great gentle routine for days when I don’t feel so hot.
Thank you Carly :)
I love your 10 min stretches. This may sound weird but i was having problems doing my routine with you because we have a new dog that jumps on me when im on the mat. I am so glad you did these chair yoga videos because now i can sit in my chair and stretch and my dog doesnt interrupt me. Personally you helped me keep going with my routine with this chair variation. Thank you!
Thank you kassandra for helping me everyday with my chronic pain ! I would love to see a yin yoga video especially for scoliosis ! ❤️
I just had hip replacement surgery and enjoyed that yoga class. I can’t do much.
I am a first timer and in the worst shape of my life. I also have a really bad back. I was able to follow a long with you throughout this whole video. It was challenging and I could not do everything exactly as you, but I did make it through the whole video. Thank you so much. I am going to start making this part of my morning routine.
i am a senior who has a lot of stress with job and family. this class is so helpful in releasing stress. thank you so much. my goal is to do these exercises daily.
I do not like to exercise and my body feels it, but this is short and gentle enough to get me back into it. I am already noticing improvements in my flexibility, which was nonexistent, and minor aches and pains have disappeared. Thank you for this!
