5 Fall Yoga Poses Using a Chair

Welcome back to our chair yoga poses series! This month’s theme features fall yoga poses!

These five fall-themed yoga poses could be done:

during a transition time in the classroom
during a subject change in your homeschool classroom
at home when you’re stuck indoors
when you would like to practice yoga in a small space

Begin your pretend visit to fall with Trish’s Fall Photography, a yoga book for readers to discover fall through literacy and movement. Imagine several fun activities to do during the fall. Engage the children’s five senses as they bring the fall to life with their minds and bodies.

Clear the space, grab a chair, practice barefoot, and unleash your imagination!

5 Fall Yoga Poses Using a Chair

1. Extended Mountain Pose – Pretend to be apple picking: Sit comfortably on your chair with your feet flat on the ground, look up, take your arms straight up to the sky, and touch your palms together. Pretend to be picking apples at the apple orchard.
2. Triangle Pose – Pretend to be flying a kite: From a standing position in front of your chair, step one foot back, placing the foot facing slightly outwards. Take your arms up parallel to the ground, bend at your waist, and tilt your upper body to the side. Reach your front hand to gently rest on your chair behind you and reach your other arm straight up. Pretend to be flying a kite in the park. Switch sides and repeat the steps.
3. Warrior 3 Pose – Pretend to be a flying goose: Stand on one leg with your arms straight out in front of you, holding the back of the chair. Extend the other leg behind you, flexing your foot. Bend your torso forward. Pretend to be a goose flying south. Switch sides and repeat the steps.
4. Chair Pose – Pretend to be a farmer: In front of your chair, stand tall in Mountain Pose with your feet hip-width apart, bend your knees, and keep a straight spine. Take your straight arms up in front of you, look up, and try sinking a little deeper into your knees as if you’re about to sit back down in the chair. Pretend to be a farmer driving a tractor through the fields..
5. Child’s Pose – Pretend to be a pumpkin: Sit back on your chair, slowly bend your upper body to rest on your thighs, rest your arms down towards the floor, and take a few deep breaths. Pretend to be a giant pumpkin in the pumpkin patch.
