Chair Pilates and Yoga is filled with tried and tested exercises to keep you fit and healthy -- all while seated on a chair or using a chair as a prop. Influenced by Pilates and yoga, these guided movements will help improve your flexibility, strength, balance, posture and breathing, and can reduce aches and pains. Featuring step-by-step exercises that target different parts of the body, this manual is suitable for all levels and abilities.
