With the addition of our new instructor, Virginia McGrath, Music & More is offering new programs for Circle Dancing and Yoga for Seniors. What is yoga for seniors? Read on to learn the answer!
Hatha Yoga (which means sun and moon) is an ancient practice of flexion and extension of the body as a flow of dancelike movements that are connected together to stimulate the flow of energy within the spine. These exercises assist in bringing balance to the body of the person and returning to a place of peace and presence to the mind and spirit. Chigong, meditation, breathwork, mindfulness walking and meridian stretches are also combined to introduce a variety of methods that increase flexibility, decrease stress and anxiety and reduce chronic aches and pains. Yoga for seniors is designed to be low impact, yet enough of a challenge to encourage an awakened shift of awareness. Yoga for seniors can be done seated in a chair and can be modified to personal comfort and ability.
