I feel that chair yoga should always be adaptive
Thank you ❤for the exercises Alyssa❤
I absolutely love your exercise sessions. I have notice noticed however that some of your sessions' audios are harder to hear due to clarity that is muffled by the acoustics in the room that your are recording. You might want to look into moving your mike closer to you while recording. Love that you are helping us seniors stay mobile.
A closer view is appreciated
I am 67 & after a straightforward ankle op I had a life threatening event. This gave me 5 weeks in bed followed by 7 weeks non weight bearing. I also had a gutter walker which consequently has meant my body has stopped working. My arthritis in my knees is awful, some days I can’t barely walk & my back hurts after the slightest walk. Thank you so much for this video.
Thank you! I will add this to my morning start.
Love these exercises, thanks
Is this workout safe for those with osteoporosis?
I absolutely loved this combination, you both were so beneficial to the movement of my body. Please do another video. I also really appreciate the positive attitude of both of you. Much love❤
Great program Thank-You
Activities for my late 60s self went from very high to next to nothing for many months. Knowing stretching and yoga would be good for me, I finally started that journey. Just today I found this workout, which is perfect for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Adding chair yoga to my routine, that last one with modification #1 is a game changer! Figure 4 has been my nemesis for several years! Excited that now I can start working that area again, thanks for this!

Hi, I did the first step challenge for better walking, I want through it quite easily , of course I had to put up with some fatigue but it wasn't a big deal. I have one partially operated knee (2021) that is now hurting more than before. My other knee, according to doctors has a lot of arthrose arthrose. I am 77 but I still take daily walks with my portuguese water dog. Looking forward to my second day challenge. Thanks a lot!
Much love and appreciation 🙏🌸
Thank you
I wish you were a little closer to the camera.
