SENIORS YOGA - CASSIS & LA CIOTAT - NURSING HOMES
Chair Yoga
in Cassis & La Ciotat
Chair yoga adapts traditional yoga postures so they can be practised while seated or using a chair for support. Accessible to everyone, with no mobility limitations required — a gentle and supportive practice for seniors, people with reduced mobility, or those recovering through rehabilitation.
CHAIR YOGA
Accessible Yoga for Every Body,
Every Stage of Life
Chair yoga — also known as adapted yoga or senior yoga — is a practice that modifies traditional yoga postures so they can be performed while seated on a chair or using it as support. No prior flexibility is required, and no yoga mat is needed.
This practice is particularly suitable for seniors, people with reduced mobility, those who are unable to lie down on the floor, or people recovering from surgery or a fall. Daphné regularly teaches chair yoga in nursing homes and senior care facilities throughout the Bouches-du-Rhône region.
Beyond the physical benefits, chair yoga creates a valuable moment of connection and sharing in care settings — a space for lightness, laughter, and reconnecting with the body in a caring and supportive environment.

How It Works
How does a chair yoga session work?
A complete session, adapted to each participant — lasting 45 minutes to 1 hour.
01
Joint Warm-Up
Gentle rotations of the ankles, wrists, shoulders, and neck — while seated. A soft awakening of the body, without strain.
02
Adapted Postures
Bends, twists, chest openers, and leg stretches — all performed while seated or using the chair for support. Daphné adapts each posture to suit every participant.
03
Breathing Exercises
Simplified pranayama practices — breath coherence, abdominal breathing, and energising breaths. Simple tools that can be used again in everyday life.
04
Guided Relaxation
5 to 10 minutes of relaxation in a seated or lying position, guided by Daphné’s voice. The favourite moment for many participants.
