Chiswick Chap, I have some immediate concerns with the article:

1. The intro starts off saying that "Chair Yoga" is a "specific form of yoga as therapy developed by Lakshmi Voelker" however the article goes on to use references for yoga using chairs in general and by others. (Take for example the usage of this reference, "This sequence from Mindful Chair Yoga Deck by Jennifer Cohen Harper and Mayuri Gonzales..." in the section #Practice.) If the article intends to be about Voelker's trademarked form which has introduced distinct features, there is not enough about it to justify this article. If it intends to also give information about chairs used in yoga in general, there is reason enough to compress and merge the article into Yoga using props where there is already mention of Lakshmi Voelker-Binder's approach.
2. The images used are general images and not specific to Lakshmi Voelker's form of chair yoga. If they are relevant, the captions or images titles don't help reveal the distinctness. Again this questions what the article is actually about.
3. Multiple references are not adequate and when considered as a whole the page is not well referenced. Promotional sites have been used, primary references have been used, this reference is authored by "a writer and certified yoga teacher and meditation educator, looks forward to becoming certified in Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga." This is unreferenced "but such informal usage is distinct from Voelker-Binder's Chair Yoga approach". And as mentioned above some references are about yoga using chairs in general.

This is a case of quick fail WP:GAFAIL. Chiswick Chap, please clarify these concerns. You can ask for a second opinion if you want as per WP:GAI. FacetsOfNonStickPans (talk) 06:31, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
