This CD and pocket-sized 44 page tutorial booklet appeal to a wide audience - those who sit at desks or in airplanes, cars, or wheelchairs and want an afternoon "pick-me-up."
Chair Yoga benefits those who have a physical condition that requires them to exercise on a chair such as arthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, osteoporosis, or stroke.
It is also an excellent form of Yoga and exercise for those who just do not want to get down on the floor yet desire the same results and benefits of traditional Yoga.
The Sitting Mountain Series has tremendous potential in the corporate setting. Chair Yoga can be used by those who are unable to get regular exercise away from the office. It provides a stress-free workout in the comfort of a worker's chair without leaving the office.
Lakshmi Voelker's Chair Yoga provides an avenue for oxygenating the body and mind for increased productivity. As the body becomes more flexible and the mind more centered, the worker obtains energy boosts without such stimulants as caffeine, nicotine, and sugars.
The CD contains one 30-minute and two 15-minute Yoga sessions. The 44-page tutorial booklet uses pictures and words to guide you through each session. It will fit in a shirt pocket or purse so you can carry it with you and do your Chair Yoga without the CD, if desired.
Lakshmi has provided over 35 years of Yoga therapy to 1000's of disciples. She gets rave reviews wherever she teaches.

Not a Kripalu Yoga Expereince
Review Date: June 18, 2009
Reviewer: Mary K. Mckibben, Honolulu, HI, USA
In my experience and opinion, the tone, languaging and pacing of the CD is not aligned with Kripalu methodology or culture. To me, I got the unfortunate image of Ms. Voelker wearing a black leather leotard and practically barking orders as if speaking to juvenile delinquents, not aging baby boomer folks or those with chronic health conditions in need of a therapeutic relationship with their mind, body, heart and soul. (She says things about peace and love, but I hear rigidity and austerity.) There is no mention of 'breathe, relax, feel, observe and allow'. I feel that her pacing of the instructions are contraindicative to relaxation, digestion or assimilation of the proposed exercises and their benefits.
As a Kripalu Yoga Teacher, I would not share this CD with any of my students or wish to be considered in alliance with Ms. Voelker's particular style of teaching.

Review Date: January 29, 2007
Reviewer: L. B. Ross,
This tape is quite lovely to listen to and really helps to put you into a relaxed state for yoga. However I didn't realize it was audio not video! Although a nice, small book with sketches of the poses accompanies the tape, I found that for me this was not really useful; I am disabled and find a video tape more helpful. I do use it in conjunction with other tapes which are video.

Reviewer: Lynn Schoorl,
I found this CD easy to use and very practical containing a booklet with illustrations and clear instructions on moving in and out of the poses. Lakshmi includes the physiological benefits of each of the postures included in her series.
Chair Yoga is Great!
Review Date: June 20, 2001
Reviewer: ,
Chair Yoga is a wonderful alternative to regular floor exercise yoga when you have been sitting at your desk too long or on a confining airline flight. It gets you moving, stretches you and gets the circulation going again. It's also great when you just don't think you have the energy for a full blown yoga session or you've temporarily injured yourself in some way that traditional yoga might be too much of a strain. I can see where it would be fabulous for wheelchair-bound, disabled or frailer seniors. Try it - you'll like it - no love it!

Reviewer: Shanti, Long Island, N.Y.
I would love to see Lakshmis'chair yoga placed into the curriculum of all nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and hospitals.Lakshmis'nurturing voice,encouraging words, and strengthening postures are a gift towards healing. It would have been a wonderful healing tool for my father who had become wheelchair bound in his last years.
