Secret Journal Of A Yogi: Chair Yoga
CARING FOR YOUR BACK
by Adam Quang

Series of simple exercises to help you release stress in your body without exerting your body. These exercises are great for people who tend sit for long periods of time, office workers, construction workers, people with neck stiffness, and people with reduced mobility.

In my late teens, I was hit by a car and suffered from back pain afterwards. Despite many x-rays and CAT scans, doctors couldn’t nd anything wrong with me. They told me I was crazy and that the pain was all in my head. Determined not to accept my pain and fate, I set out on a journey to become stronger and to conquer my pain. Following years of practicing yoga, I started a yoga therapy practice, helping people manage their pain, specializing in building back muscles and improving exibility. I have also been teaching and training yoga teachers since 1994.

My travels have led me back to Asia where I had once abandoned my Buddhist training (some 30 years ago) to go to the west. This return to my roots has proven to be the perfect environment to write my “Chair Yoga: Secret Journal of a Yogi” book and do video recordings in Vietnam and Thailand. It’s also where I did research on Thai yoga massage techniques to further my understanding of body, yoga and tai chi.

My goal for the Chair Yoga: Secret Journal of a Yogi book series is to help people with limited mobility (i.e. problems that are caused by sitting at the computer) through exercises that are structured to reduce pain and discomfort while focusing on prevention and healing.

With each chapter of the Chair Yoga book, I challenged myself to redesign and adapt yoga ancient art (originally designed for bodies that squatted and sat on cushions from 3300 BC – 1700 BC) to our chair-sitting/ high-heel wearing industrialized lifestyles of today, by deconstructing the mystique of the yoga pose and presenting it in simple movements and terminology.

Hope you will enjoy my Chair Yoga: Secret Journal of a Yogi book and videos. Please kindly leave a comment with your thoughts and ideas as I am always looking for ways to learn and improve.
