Sun Salutations in a Chair
We believe that the sun salutations provide such benefit,
and we have developed a modified version that can be per-
formed in a chair. You can perform these modified sun

an airplane. These poses relieve tension in your spine,
enhance circulation, and ease soreness in your muscles.
