Chair Pose is a standing yoga posture that tones the entire body, particularly the thighs. It involves sitting back as if you’re about to fall seated into a chair, but holding the position so your muscles stabilize and strengthen. If you have bulging disks, you’ll want to keep your spine long and back flat in this pose instead of rounding your spine.

Level: Beginner
- Starting in Mountain pose, Tadasana.
- Exhale as you bend your knees and move your hips back as if you were sitting down on a chair. Draw your lower abdomen in and up to support your lower back
- Send your hips back rather than your knees forward, so that you can still see your toes. Inhale as you raise your arms up around your ears and soften your shoulders.
- Keep reaching higher, while sitting lower for 5 to 1 breaths. To come back into in Tadasana, exhale, as you press your feet down to straighten your legs and then bring your arms down to your sides.
