Yoga for Seniors (Arm Chair Yoga)
|
According to the tradition of yoga, the years after
55 are the ideal time to start practicing yoga because
you are entering a new and wiser stage of life.
The practice of yoga restores and maintains the
health and vitality of the body. The philosophy
behind yoga aims to open and enrich a human being
on all levels so that aging can become a time of
greater perspective and illumination rather than
deterioration.
The
safe, gentle, slow and controlled movements of yoga
reduces anxiety and depression, while increasing
muscle tone and strength aiding coordination, balance
and body control. The mind and the body are kept
supple, fit and strong.
