Collection of Chair Yoga Ideas for your Classroom or Homeschool

Are you looking for easy chair yoga themes for your classroom or homeschool?

I’ve put together a list of themes from our monthly chair yoga series to give you a starting point to introduce movement in the classroom in a fun, creative, and easy way. Each theme includes five yoga postures using a chair. Each yoga pose is intended to:

energize students at the beginning of the school day to get their minds ready to learn
give students a brain break after a long academic session
help students release energy after recess so they can focus on their next learning experience
introduce a new topic through movement and by stimulating their creative minds
provide a quick and easy way to add movement after long periods of sitting
develop the student’s flexibility and strength
serve as inspiration that you can adapt to your classroom
help promote a healthy, active lifestyle.
