your chair pose shouldn't look like everyone else's
Legs shaking in Chair Pose? Feel like you’re going to tip over every time you try to balance? This class is for you.
Welcome to Day 6 of Beginner Yoga Foundations, where we break down Chair Pose (Utkatasana) and simple balance variations — without ego, pressure, or perfection. Chair is one of yoga’s most misunderstood poses. It’s not just a squat. It’s about strength, breath, and learning how to feel steady even when your legs are on fire.
MYTH BUST: If your legs burn or you wobble, it doesn’t mean you’re “bad at yoga.” It means you’re building strength and balance
What You’ll Learn:
-How to align knees, hips, and spine safely in Chair Pose
-Glute and core engagement so your low back stays protected
-Twisted Chair variations with blocks to support balance
-How to prevent knees from wobbling or popping out
-Introduction to Mula Bandha & Drishti
-One-leg balance practice inside Chair (without fear of falling)
This class isn’t about going lower — it’s about standing strong in the fire. If you felt empowered (even in the shake), continue with Day 7 and subscribe for more real, sweaty, soulful guidance. You’re doing more than poses. You’re building trust in your bod
