The intensity of chair yoga sessions is generally lower than many other forms of physical activity, which means it burns fewer calories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weight loss fundamentally relies on creating a calorie deficit, where more calories are expended than are consumed.
