What is Gentle Senior Yoga?
"Gentle Senior Yoga" is yoga that has been adapted to meet the needs of the over 55 population. It is one of the safest physical activities you can pursue.
What are the benefits?
Our world is filled with stress. Research shows that over 80% of all doctor visits are related to stress. The primary goal of Gentle Senior Yoga is relaxation and stress and tension relief to improve the quality and enjoyment of life. Living is simple more fun when you look and feel fit!
Gentle Senior Yoga involves a series of stretches that work your muscles to improve strength, posture and balance. Yoga exercises boost blood circulation, immunity, stamina and energy. Yoga is especially beneficial in countering chronic pain from arthritis and back pain. Yoga puts a lot of emphasis on breathing. Most of us utilize only a fraction of our lung capacity. Yoga helps you to breathe easy and fully and boosts the overall functioning of your mind and body, improving brain fitness.
