Yoga for Seniors with Jane Adams (2nd edition): Improve Balance, Strength & Flexibility with Gentle Senior Yoga, now with 3 complete practices.
Description
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) is
done all seated in a chair, and emphasizes gentle movements to improve
strength, range-of-motion, joint health, and posture, and works the body as
fully as possible while sitting in a chair. Level 2 (40 minutes) alternates
sitting in a chair, with standing alongside and holding onto a chair for
stability. Level 2 works on developing strength and flexibility evenly
throughout the entire body, and includes many easy movements to improve
balance and increase foot, ankle and leg strength. Level 3 (55 minutes) also
alternates sitting in a chair with standing, but is an overall stronger and
longer practice than level 2, with more time spent on the standing and
balancing poses. Level 3 is broken down into 6 shorter segments for greater
choice. The goal of this DVD is to help seniors live fuller, more independent
lives. Special emphasis is placed on working the muscles and joints most
needed in everyday life and to prevent falls. All 3 practices emphasize good
posture, full deep breathing, and end with a short relaxation and meditation
for a more alert and relaxed body and mind. Filmed in the beautiful Bibler
Gardens. Designed and taught by Jane Adams, RYT 500, a yoga practitioner since
1976 who specializes in yoga for healthy ageing.
