I think we’d do well to remember often that we are not fragile. Humans are, above all else, resilient: capable of enduring and moving past great pain and challenge. Respecting each other’s resilience and strength is perhaps the most trauma-sensitive thing we can do.
It feels good, and half of the hour is doing seated poses, and the other half is standing using the chair as a balance. It works quite well for me. Love the meditation and deep breathing in a darkened room that we start with.
Beautiful, love this:

Very well said. Btw I I just started chair yoga. Much of what you referenced will be a big help to me.
Yes chair yoga is amazing! Would love to hear how it feels for you.
