The chair is a multi-purpose prop that offers a vast number of applications for all types of asanas and all levels of yoga students.

“The Extended Chair for Yoga” is an extended version of the popular “A Chair for Yoga”. It includes twice the number of variations (the variations from the original book are included).

The book includes more than 600 photos, illustrating how to perform each variation. Level of difficulty and benefits are indicated for each variation. It can benefit both yoga practitioners and yoga teachers.

Those who studied “A Chair for Yoga” will find here a trove of new ideas for hours of enjoyable yoga practice and exploration of the asanas!

Key improvements over the original version:

Doubles the number of variations
All the photos were retaken in better quality
The graphic design is improved significantly, making the book easier to use
Contains eight new practice sequences, in addition to the one presented in “A Chair for Yoga” (one sequence even caters to non-practitioners who may wish to refresh during their office workday)

“An essential book for yoga teachers and enthusiasts alike. This book encourages the exploration and creative use of the chair which leads to an exploration of different areas of the body and the effect this has on the mind. I appreciate Eyal’s books very much, they keep my personal practice sharp and fresh!”

I love Eyal Shifroni’s new book, The Extended Chair for Yoga! Creative, fun, and accessible for practitioners of all levels, this book allows beginners to learn poses with support and stability. Beginner and intermediate practitioners alike can find lightness, integration, and access to various key aspects of a pose to inform the classical postures. A worthwhile resource in the light of BKS Iyengar’s work. I highly recommend this book. Thank you, Eyal for your inspiration!

I highly recommend this new book that is already in my hands. I have been using A Chair for Yoga for years for my personal practices and for teaching. I find in practice with a chair something very special that the book sheds light on: it takes care of my body and it helps me to deepen my practice and learning. This new book adds new postures and new variations that I receive with great joy to enrich my practice and teaching, giving me more clarity on new postures as well as new ways for doing different actions.
