Frequently asked questions
The doubts families tell us about most. If yours isn’t here, write to us.
Do I need to be fit to start?
No. Everything starts at the gentlest level: seated on a firm chair. If you can sit down and stand up, you can start. Level 1 is already a complete practice, not a token version.
Is this yoga?
The method comes from yoga, but you won’t see strange postures or complicated names here. They are gentle movements that look like home tasks: standing up, bending down, putting on socks. If you would never do “yoga”, you can do this.
How much time do I need a day?
Little and always often wins. Five or ten minutes a day is plenty. A short daily spell beats a Sunday ordeal.
I have arthritis, osteoporosis or a joint replacement. Can I do it?
The movements are designed to be kind, but every body is different. With a recent operation, a fall, significant osteoporosis or a heart condition, ask your doctor first. And always the same rule: as far as doesn’t hurt.
What equipment do I need?
A firm chair without wheels and comfortable clothes. That’s all. Each video lists what it needs at the top.
What if bending down makes me dizzy?
Go lower less, slower, and holding the chair. If the dizziness appears anyway, stop and check with your doctor before continuing. Balance can be trained too, but safety comes first.
Do the videos have captions?
Yes, in Spanish and English, and every video also has its written step list under the player. If you can’t hear well or the audio fails, you can follow everything by reading.
How much does it cost? Do I need an account?
Nothing, and no. There are no accounts, no payments, no ads and nothing to install. It’s a free site by Frank Calber.
How do I send a video to my mother?
Open the video and press “Share it with your family”: your phone’s share menu opens, with a direct WhatsApp button and a copy-link button.
Does it work for a day centre or care home?
Yes. Open the video on the TV or projector, full screen, captions on. The levels let the whole group join: standing for those who can, seated for those who can’t. Everyone takes part.
