Get Fit Where You Sit: A Guide to the Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga Method Paperback – September 26, 2023

I had originally gotten this book (along with several similar books) from my local library. After reviewing each one, I ordered this one, as it seemed to fit my needs.

Lakshmi Voelker and Liz Oppedijk, two highly skilled yoga professionals who developed Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga, have created a text for every person. No matter if you are wheelchair bound, mostly seated, or stiff from sitting, or teaching any of these people, this well illustrated "bible" is for you.Lakshmi's form is impeccable and the illustrations are great. There's an "on the mat" picture and then several variations that are progressive in nature. Lakshmi has wonderful form and is a great model. No matter where you are at, there's a variation you will be able to use.For yoga pros wanting to expand into chair yoga, the layout is great and very helpful with choreography.The text is a great addition to any yoga teacher's library.

Wish I had found this book sooner! Really like the layout, explanations, and picture guides.

The book is fantastic! I had the privilege to train with Lakshmi in person. This practice is for everyone , seasoned practitioners will benefit as much as older people who have yet to find the benefits of yoga. The beauty of LVCY is that it can be done by anyone, at any time! “The Get Fit Where You Sit” mantra is one I’ve shared with my 20 year old daughter and 88 year old Mom! Lakshmi’s book spells it out for all of us! Love it! 🥰🙏🏼

Item came quickly in excellent condition. I dropped a star due to the photos being in black in white plus the model was dressed in dark clothes. This makes it harder to pick up the details of the poses.

I need pictures - and this book has it and more. It’s important to safely teach and do the poses correctly especially for the aged or injured population. The authors do a superb job with modifications thus allowing yoga to be accessible to all. This is one of my main go-to references when creating monthly sequences or seeking clarification. The other info - breath, mudra, mantra, etc. - invaluable as well.

I have both knees replaced so mat yoga is not an option. I took Lakshmi class in 2019 and it was a game changer for me. The levels of flexibility is really the key to this practice of yoga. Listening to your body , breathing and enjoying the benefits . Great book

I loved this book. I especially appreciated photos of yoga poses on the mat and how they translate to a chair. It was lovely to see a discussion on different levels of flexibility. It’s going to be on my bedside table for a while. So happy I got it. I love this book.
