Editorial Reviews Senior bodies are not all the same! Physical abilities can vary widely from one person to another, and even from day to day. This DVD has 3 complete yoga practices to meet the varying needs of people over 70. Level 1 (26 minutes) isdone all seated in a chair, and emphasizes gentle movements to improve strength, range-of-motion, joint health, and posture, and works the body asfully as possible while sitting in a chair. Level 2 (40 minutes) alternatessitting in a chair, with standing alongside and holding onto a chair for stability. Level 2 works on developing strength and flexibility evenlythroughout the entire body, and includes many easy movements to improvebalance and increase foot, ankle and leg strength. Level 3 (55 minutes) alsoalternates sitting in a chair with standing, but is an overall stronger andlonger practice than level 2, with more time spent on the standing andbalancing poses. Level 3 is broken down into 6 shorter segments for greaterchoice. The goal of this DVD is to help seniors live fuller, more independentlives.
