I have been teaching for years. I just got asked to teach a chair yoga class for seniors. I have watched many many videos for ideas. Yours is the best!! Real, connected and seems like you make people like people. Thank you.
I'm so glad you found us! We have lots of Chair Yoga videos... many were filmed live with a roomful of active seniors. I hope we inspire many to keep moving and enjoy liking people😂❤
This is my favorite chair yoga video. I have tried many following my spinal fusion surgery. During class, Yvonne give many informative comments about how the parts of our body work to support us and inspired me with her gentle reminders about how our breath give strength to every movement. Well done, Yvonne. I am sure you have a devoted following in you face to face classes.
Greetings to you both! I am so excited you found my classes beneficial! I hope you try a variety of my classes to give your bodies some diversity and challenge your brain with new moves! You are both AMAZING!!!! Many blessings to you! Sherry
Thanks Mary! I like to offer different kinds of movements to stimulate our brains to think outside of the regular every day box! That keeps our bodies and minds sharp!!! Super important for older people... and truly everyone! Many blessings to you! Sherry
Since recently, one lady of 70 years has come to our yoga studio and we just had to make the class that would be adapted to her. I realized that we did not actually have any lessons that we could work out with the elderly. In my search for a good yoga chair class I found this video. Really beautiful class :) Light and demanding at the same time, the perfect blend of play and serious practice. Very, very inspiring. Thank you
Thanks Darko! We love to learn and share the Joy of Yoga together.. no matter what age or ability.. Yoga is very everyone!! Spread the joy! We have lots more of these live recorded classes on www.YogaJPTV.com. Blessings to you, your studio and your students! Love, Sherry
This is awesome. I teach a senior yoga class and I think they would love this energy. I’ve concentrated mostly on a meditative flow. We all need these movements as we age.
Hi Kathy! So great to hear from another Senior Yoga teacher! I love teaching to seniors because they enjoy moving like they used and it makes them feel great! You should check out my Chair Yoga Dances that I now weave into my classes. Talk about energy! They are on my other TH-cam channel...TH-cam.com/YogaVista They are so much fun! Blessings to you and those you serve! Love, Sherry
Hi Sherry , I'm a 71 year old, overweight, badly out of shape Senior named Linda. Found your video on You Tube today and loved it !! I was looking for something and there you were. I did the whole 1/2 hour with you and will be joining you again tomorrow.
Thanks Sharon! We have the same name! I am so glad you enjoy my classes because I love sharing them! I have lots more here! watch.yogavista.tv/search?author_id=8648&category_id=23245 Many blessings to you! Sherry
Thank you for the wonderful pick me up. I am doing my best to stay on top of things during this extended period of craziness. Your video helped me to be much more positive for the day. God bless you.
Hi! I am sooo happy that my classes lift your spirits! I agree, this extended period of craziness is getting to us all! That is why we need to work hard to keep ourselves upbeat and moving!

Hi Beatrice! Wow! That;s alot of hearts and love! Thanks for your support! I am so happy your arthritis feels better with simple moves and stretches! Much love to you! Blessings, Sherry
Hi Yvonne! Thanks for taking the time to share! Most of these Seniors are in their 80's and come out faithfully twice a week to get energized! Yoga has surely made their lives better, and that is the perfect gift for a Yoga Teacher!
This is absolutely the best exercise video. Over the years I've attended classes, gotten really out of shape and want to exercise again. And I can say that this is the best session leader I've ever had. Sherry gives instructions in a clear manner does not feel the need to stop and chat. The exercises move smoothly from one to the next. I'm glad I found this! (Penny, age 62)
I have been watching and working out to a few of your post for a month now . I have lyphaedema ,arthritis,high blood pressure , and vertigo . This is something I recommend to people now as a intro . Now I am up to the full class post with 10 mins of seated cardio . Please keep posting .I am working with everyone .
shirley satterfield Hi Shirley! So nice to hear from you! Moving helps you feel better and kicks in our endorphins. Just pace yourself and have fun! I have lots more on my YogaJpTv.com channel. Blessings to you! Sherry

Loved the video, works wonders for me after suffering a stroke. I completed a june challenge for cancer research doing this video throughout the month. Raised funds for the charity, thank you. All the best Julia x
Loved this class. As a yoga instructor I am always looking for new ways to present the moves to my seniors. This session was truly fun and challenging. Honestly it is your wonderful energy that gave the class its joy and enthusiasm. Namaste
Hi Mary Lou! So very happy that you get some new ideas from our videos. Our seniors always like to be challenged and learn something new in every class. So, it keeps us teachers on our toes! Enjoy sharing! Blessings to you! Sherry
Hi Joy! Nice to have you! If you like these types of classes I have 100s more on my YogaVista.TV video library. It's free for 30 days. Why not checking it out and have some fun exercising with our gang at Yoga Vista. www.YogaVista.TV Sending you love and blessings from California! Sherry
I wouls just like to say thank you for your videos. I teach a Chair Yoga class for active Seniors who like variety in their exercises. I love watching your videos for ideas on new poses and exercises to incorporate to give them unique classes every week. Thank you for your creativity with these amazing older adults!
Amy Lynn thanks Amy! We all enjoy variety! So glad you pick up new ideas through my classes. I love to share! Have you tried any of the Chair Yoga Dances yet? The seniors LOVE them! Blessings to you and your gang! Love, sherry❤️
Thank you this is wonderful as I head off to my weekly appointment teaching in a nursing home. They are very chair bound and many have dementia and we have the most beautiful time together singing and moving. You have given me some really good new exercises to share with them. Blessings to you! x x x
Hi Georgiana! SOOO happy to hear that you are teaching Chair Yoga to those with dementia! They love to be playful and move! Have fun! Check out lots more videos on our channel... more ideas to share with your students! Blessings, Sherry
Hi Charlie! Glad you joined us! Come back often! We have LOTS more videos on our TH-cam channel and even more in our YogaVista.TV streaming library! Blessings to you! Sherry
Thanks just now discovered this. My yoga studio has been shut down because of Covid, so I appreciate this. (Also, I just fell, so a chair yoga was much appreciated).
Hi Cheryn! Glad our classes were of good service to you! Take good care of yourself! Enjoy lots more of our classes at YogaVista.tV. Many blessings to you and I hope our studio opens soon! Love, Sherry
This was great..I'm Going to incorporate this set into my grandmother's wellness routine. She's 92. I've come to realize flexibilty and balance & strength are all important throught the complete duration of one's life...even if bed ridden. Seniors tend to become drastically contracted rigid over time. It does not have to be. -Thanks again...love to u.
Jafar Martin You got it right Jafar! Motion is lotion! And needed always! Yay for helping out your grandmother! Send my love to her! Love and blessings, Sherry
Hi Sherry, thank you for sharing your class. I am 154cm tall and normally weigh 60kg, however, right now due to cancer-related lymphedema, my weight has ballooned out to 85kg! Carrying the extra 25kg of fluid has been challenging especially as most of it is in my right leg, lower abdominal region (front and back!) and now chest cavity. Your class is my first attempt at chair yoga as I simply could not bring myself to attend my normal yoga classes. Thank you so much, I have learnt some great poses and sequences from you. Cheers, Jo
Sherry, thank you so much for making these chair yoga video's. I was a very active person and noticed my activity level dropping. I since found out that I have CHF. Your chair yoga exercises have helped me feel like I can exercise again without feeling defeated. They have helped so much.
Kathy Loveless Hi Kathy! So great to hear your spirits are up! That’s what Moving can do for us! I’m so glad you found our classes. I try to make them fun, educational and accessible. Hope you practice with me often! Love, sherry❤️
I am so happy you are practicing every day. I hope you are feeling better each day. I have many more classes, so try a few others! Many blessings to you! Sherry
hi sherry, received the dvd, thank you. and thank you for the meditations, a most welcome surprise. best wishes to you and all at yoga vista studios. from watching and following the online sessions i have come to feel that i know people like gayle and minush, stephanie, :) :) - this makes it a very friendly session. again, my warm thanks and good wishes to all. karenza
Hi Karenza! Glad the DVD arrived! All of us give you our love through our teachings and so glad to have you join in! It is wonderful to hear that it makes a difference for you! Wishing you love, blessings and peace this holiday seasons! Sherry
Thank you Sherry. I am a fairly new chair yoga instructor looking for helpful ideas and your session was inspiring, fun and delightful. Such a lovely way to create energy and joy for all class participants. I can't wait to incorporate your sun salutation. Loved your clear guidance and kind heart. L. Shaw
Hi! Congrats on becoming a Chair Yoga Teacher! Best and most fulfilling job ever! I am super glad you found some nuggets in my videos to share with your students. The main thing is to treat everyone as capable human beings. The seniors and elders always remind me that they don't like to be treated with fragility:) And I listen to my elders! Enjoy the teaching adventure! Blessings, Sherry
My mom always said you can't please everyone. And she also said if you can say anything nice, don't say anything at all. Tis the nature of humanity! Glad you enjoyed it! Many blessings to you! Sherry
Thank you so so much. I just finished and passed this on to my girlfriends. I can’t get down on a mat anymore safely. This was the best ! I feel so much better!!!!!
HI Sharon! So glad you enjoyed this Chair Yoga class. I have tons more (with no ads)! Check out our Video library at YogaVista.TV Many blessings to you and your girlfriends! Love, Sherry
+YogaJP I have to agree. I am 36 but due to a horrendous year nearly 3 years ago, I have spent the last year to two sitting day in and day out. I work from home so this enabled me to get very lazy due to depression. I piled on weight and lost all my strength. However during the last year I have worked on healing mentally and fixing my diet. I am very nourished in comparison to before and no longer feel depressed. This is the first time I could say this since I can remember. I also now feel better after exercise instead of worse. All my life I have felt terrible after exercise and could never understand what this 'endorphin rush' was all about. It has been a slow journey but since these are lifestyle choices, I am happy with slow progress if each step is here to stay. This is my year to become fitter, more supple and hopefully lose weight although this is not my primary concern. I am starting with this type of routine and some harder standing poses in shorter videos. Plus I am walking a couple of times a week, doing morning qigong and aerobics. I would recommend anyone who is unfit to start here because it can be so disheartening and shaming not to be able to get through some of the more difficult exercises that are meant to be for beginners! Thank you for posting this. I truly mean this - the internet has saved my life. The knowledge and free videos posted on youtube have been the foundation for my change. I am truly grateful to those who share knowledge.
This makes me fill like I am really with family, moving is freedom for our soul. this work out makes me cry happy tears, and remember if it were not for the tears we would not be able to enjoy the rainbow in our soul. I love the students and the teacher, we can never stop all this fun, ok lets get goin.
I am so happy to have found you on utube. I am now being more active with chair yoga since it is easier for me right now. I love your energy and wearing bright colors. Thank you for making these available to so many people. love you all
Rachel Rose You are most welcome Rachel! So happy to hear you are enjoying our videos! We just make it fun to move so you do it more often... and you feel better doing it! All good stuff, and yes... you won’t see me wearing any black tops! Brights brighten your mood! Blessings to you! Sherry❤️
Hi there, you look like Brasilian...the way you talk changing the tone of your voice, the body language when you do your moves, Anyway your class is superb.
Found your Chair Yoga Dance videos recently. I absolutely love them. They are helping me get thru 2 years of isolation in Ontario, Canada Especially love the music you have chosen. Thanks so much Sherry.
Hi Robin! I love giving Yoga teachers new ideas! We all appreciate that!!! I have tons more of these types of Chair Yoga videos! watch.yogavista.tv/categories/Chair-Yoga Many blessings to you and those you serve! Love, Sherry
Good luck on your recovery Maureen! And yes, Chair Yoga will be a great companion to your physical therapy! You will do great! Love and Blessings! Sherry
I’ve been in pain all weekend just tried some of your exercises and the pain has decreased, thank you I’m going to follow your yoga exercises, I’m a cancer patient having curative treatment but suffering from very sore areas in my pelvis from pelvic radiotherapy
Hi Susan! I'm glad you experienced positive effects from practicing Yoga with me. That brings you hope that you WILL and can get better! Keep up the great work and attitude!
I'm so glad I found this. My range of motion at the end of the video was dramatically improved! And I felt the first hint of relief from my low back pain. Yay! Thank you.
Kylie Sabra Hi Kylie! SO happy to hear that you enjoyed the class and you felt better afterwards! Keep it up! IT will work wonders for you! Blessings, Sherry

I liked this video very much! I'm not a senior, but I have fibromyalgia. I'm not quite as stiff as many with FM probably because before fibro I was very, very limber and also because I still work full time. Many of the chair yoga routines aimed at fibro warriors are just too slow or easy for me. Thank you for putting these on you tube since Indiana to California is just a little too far to commute for yoga classes!
Hi there! i just started yoga classes last week , and my gran says it might be good for her , but she's afraid of not being able to get up when she does it and all those type of stuff ,and I saw this video today , and i decided that I will help her do it at home , she says "I'm in" . thank you so much for the video ,I cant wait to start helping my gran do some yoga so that she can have something to do and be proud of doing when she improves ,its amazing ,we are going to do this together at home . thank you ! never stop making these video
Yay for you and Gran! What a wonderful thing to do together!~ Enjoy every moment you share with her. She will be skipping and clapping and smiling. I have lots more classes on my website: www.YogaJPTV.com Blessings to you both! Sherry
YAY for you Jackie! A little sweat means we are doing some good things for our body, and especially the heart and lungs. Pace yourself! Have fun! Try out some of our seated Chair Yoga dances too! They are a hoot! th-cam.com/play/PLp11GJcwf09Zi8DEToiUXvPgtbd3MQ-9D.html Love, Sherry
Fantastic class, thanks so much for sharing this! As a yoga teacher I am always looking for inspiration for my senior clients, and I love how well rounded this sequence is. You are obviously helping many! Blessings
Hi Janet! Glad you are gathering new Chair Yoga ideas for our wonderful seniors! They love challenge and diversity like we all do! I have more full-length Chair Yoga classes on TH-cam... with even more ideas:) Thanks for helping to keep our seniors healthy and happy! Sherry
Thank you, im doing an internship at a home for the elderly as an occupational therapist rn & this great (although I'm gonna have to leave out the standing poses)
Hi Laura! Good luck on your internship! Your skills and compassion are greatly needed in this world! We have lots more videos that are all seated... check them out! Tons of ideas for you! watch.yogavista.tv/search?custom_fields=%7B%22custom_field_5592%22%3A%220%22%7D Many blessings, Sherry
The exercises and movement offers energy to the body and mind. I've been in physical therapy for muscles knots as I continue I know yoga is a day to day process my body needs to function properly. I look forward to new yoga videos. Thank you for great classes. Many blessings. Carrol.
Hi- I peek in on your classes frequently- they always inspire and this one was no exception. I need to get some straps for my seniors- what wonderful asanas! Thanks so much for your continuing creativity. Blessings from your fan, Vieno
Thanks for sharing, Sherry. You really should consider using straight-backed chairs. Folding chairs are not permitted in my classes, mainly for safety reasons.
A great video if you haven’t exercised in a while. I found it helped when I paused the video when my back needed a longer stretch. Feeling more energetic already!
Thank you so much for posting this, very good instruction for me as I recover from knee surgery. 6 weeks locked straight ahead, so working on my core and flexibility.
Monte Waddill So glad to hear you are recovering well Monte! Keep moving as movement and circulation brings healing and good knee alignment and tracking! Love, Sherry
Brilliant video. Thank you for sharing. I teach yoga in Rugby, England and am increasingly adapting one of my classes to be more gentle, with lots of chair yoga. Thank you!
Just right for my cranky 75 year old body! Thanks so much!
Movement is the cure for cranky, creaky joints! Glad to hear it helped! Keep Moving!! Love, Sherry

Kathy Loveless Hi Kathy! So great to hear your spirits are up! That’s what Moving can do for us! I’m so glad you found our classes. I try to make them fun, educational and accessible. Hope you practice with me often! Love, sherry❤️
Everyday , I am practice this yoga. tq my leader😘
I am so happy you are practicing every day. I hope you are feeling better each day. I have many more classes, so try a few others! Many blessings to you! Sherry
hi sherry, received the dvd, thank you. and thank you for the meditations, a most welcome surprise. best wishes to you and all at yoga vista studios. from watching and following the online sessions i have come to feel that i know people like gayle and minush, stephanie, :) :) - this makes it a very friendly session. again, my warm thanks and good wishes to all. karenza
Hi Karenza! Glad the DVD arrived! All of us give you our love through our teachings and so glad to have you join in! It is wonderful to hear that it makes a difference for you! Wishing you love, blessings and peace this holiday seasons! Sherry
Thank you Sherry. I am a fairly new chair yoga instructor looking for helpful ideas and your session was inspiring, fun and delightful. Such a lovely way to create energy and joy for all class participants. I can't wait to incorporate your sun salutation. Loved your clear guidance and kind heart. L. Shaw
Hi! Congrats on becoming a Chair Yoga Teacher! Best and most fulfilling job ever! I am super glad you found some nuggets in my videos to share with your students. The main thing is to treat everyone as capable human beings. The seniors and elders always remind me that they don't like to be treated with fragility:) And I listen to my elders! Enjoy the teaching adventure! Blessings, Sherry
How can 223 people not like this? Great teacher and wonderful exercises and stretches!
My mom always said you can't please everyone. And she also said if you can say anything nice, don't say anything at all. Tis the nature of humanity! Glad you enjoyed it! Many blessings to you! Sherry
This is good for me because it is longer and a bit more challenging than other senior yoga classes I have done.
Thank you so so much. I just finished and passed this on to my girlfriends. I can’t get down on a mat anymore safely. This was the best ! I feel so much better!!!!!
HI Sharon! So glad you enjoyed this Chair Yoga class. I have tons more (with no ads)! Check out our Video library at YogaVista.TV Many blessings to you and your girlfriends! Love, Sherry
+YogaJP I have to agree. I am 36 but due to a horrendous year nearly 3 years ago, I have spent the last year to two sitting day in and day out. I work from home so this enabled me to get very lazy due to depression. I piled on weight and lost all my strength.
However during the last year I have worked on healing mentally and fixing my diet. I am very nourished in comparison to before and no longer feel depressed. This is the first time I could say this since I can remember. I also now feel better after exercise instead of worse. All my life I have felt terrible after exercise and could never understand what this 'endorphin rush' was all about.
It has been a slow journey but since these are lifestyle choices, I am happy with slow progress if each step is here to stay. This is my year to become fitter, more supple and hopefully lose weight although this is not my primary concern.
I am starting with this type of routine and some harder standing poses in shorter videos. Plus I am walking a couple of times a week, doing morning qigong and aerobics. I would recommend anyone who is unfit to start here because it can be so disheartening and shaming not to be able to get through some of the more difficult exercises that are meant to be for beginners! Thank you for posting this. I truly mean this - the internet has saved my life. The knowledge and free videos posted on youtube have been the foundation for my change. I am truly grateful to those who share knowledge.
This makes me fill like I am really with family, moving is freedom for our soul. this work out makes me cry happy tears, and remember if it were not for the tears we would not be able to enjoy the rainbow in our soul. I love the students and the teacher, we can never stop all this fun, ok lets get goin.
I am so happy to have found you on utube. I am now being more active with chair yoga since it is easier for me right now. I love your energy and wearing bright colors. Thank you for making these available to so many people. love you all
Rachel Rose You are most welcome Rachel! So happy to hear you are enjoying our videos! We just make it fun to move so you do it more often... and you feel better doing it! All good stuff, and yes... you won’t see me wearing any black tops! Brights brighten your mood! Blessings to you! Sherry❤️
Hi there, you look like Brasilian...the way you talk changing the tone of your voice, the body language when you do your moves, Anyway your class is superb.
Thank you for sharing, Sherry! Your Practice is so light, complete and inclusive - really wonderful!
It made me smile...another energizing movement! Namaste.
Found your Chair Yoga Dance videos recently. I absolutely love them. They are helping me get thru 2 years of isolation in Ontario, Canada Especially love the music you have chosen. Thanks so much Sherry.
Thank you so much, your energy and cues were fantastic! I loved seeing the seniors in the video as well.
Sherry, You are wonderful! This video is a wonderful resource for me as I sub for a chair yoga teacher from time to time.

I liked this video very much! I'm not a senior, but I have fibromyalgia. I'm not quite as stiff as many with FM probably because before fibro I was very, very limber and also because I still work full time. Many of the chair yoga routines aimed at fibro warriors are just too slow or easy for me. Thank you for putting these on you tube since Indiana to California is just a little too far to commute for yoga classes!
Love this. Sharing!
Hi there! i just started yoga classes last week , and my gran says it might be good for her , but she's afraid of not being able to get up when she does it and all those type of stuff ,and I saw this video today , and i decided that I will help her do it at home , she says "I'm in" . thank you so much for the video ,I cant wait to start helping my gran do some yoga so that she can have something to do and be proud of doing when she improves ,its amazing ,we are going to do this together at home . thank you ! never stop making these video

The exercises and movement offers energy to the body and mind. I've been in physical therapy for muscles knots as I continue I know yoga is a day to day process my body needs to function properly. I look forward to new yoga videos. Thank you for great classes. Many blessings.
Carrol.
Hi- I peek in on your classes frequently- they always inspire and this one was no exception. I need to get some straps for my seniors- what wonderful asanas! Thanks so much for your continuing creativity. Blessings from your fan, Vieno
Thanks for sharing, Sherry. You really should consider using straight-backed chairs. Folding chairs are not permitted in my classes, mainly for safety reasons.
A great video if you haven’t exercised in a while. I found it helped when I paused the video when my back needed a longer stretch. Feeling more energetic already!
Hello patti
Thank you so much for posting this, very good instruction for me as I recover from knee surgery. 6 weeks locked straight ahead, so working on my core and flexibility.
Monte Waddill So glad to hear you are recovering well Monte! Keep moving as movement and circulation brings healing and good knee alignment and tracking! Love, Sherry
Brilliant video. Thank you for sharing. I teach yoga in Rugby, England and am increasingly adapting one of my classes to be more gentle, with lots of chair yoga. Thank you!
