Chair Pose
What is Chair Pose?
Chair Pose is a standing yoga posture that tones the entire body, particularly the thighs. It involves sitting back as if you’re about to fall seated into a chair, but holding the position so your muscles stabilize and strengthen.

Chair pose will strengthen your thighs, make your knees and ankles more limber and sturdy, and your arms and shoulders will gain power and flexibility.
As you reach your arms up and stretch the muscles between your ribs, you’ll increase your breathing capacity. The pose can also help improve your posture. All of the core muscles fire as you hold the pose, lifting your pelvis into a more upright alignment and working against the tendency to exaggerate the arch of the spine as you reach up and back with the arms.
