Staying active in old age is not about pushing the body beyond its limits — it’s about moving with ease, consistency, and joy. One of the simplest yet most effective ways for senior citizens to keep themselves fit is through Chair Suryanamaskar (Sun Salutation on a chair).
Unlike the traditional version, which may feel challenging due to knee, back, or balance issues, Chair Suryanamaskar can be done comfortably while sitting on a sturdy chair — even while watching TV. With gentle movements of the arms, torso, and breath, it keeps the body mobile and the mind fresh.
Benefits for Seniors:
• Improves flexibility of shoulders, spine, and hips without strain.
• Enhances blood circulation and boosts energy.
• Supports digestion and joint mobility.
• Brings calmness and mental clarity through synchronized breathing.
• Requires no mat, no special setup — just a chair and willingness to move.

Why it Works:
Ageing often leads to reduced mobility and stiffness. By practicing these gentle flows daily, seniors can prevent rigidity, maintain independence, and enjoy a healthier quality of life — all with minimum effort and maximum impact.
Even a few rounds of Chair Suryanamaskar every morning or evening can become a lifelong companion for graceful ageing.
