When teaching Yoga to Senior Citizens, one of the first things we notice is their loss of balance. From common trips come falls, and then fear of moving sets in. To help our students feel sure and steady on their feet they need healthy bones and muscles for support, good eyesight, a healthy vestibular system and good mind/body coordination. In this Deep Dive Intensive Gentle Yoga Workshop, Sherry will give you the behind the scenes perspective of why and how specific Yoga sequences are offered in a Gentle Yoga class to help improve balance.
There will be sequences to help strengthen the muscles and joints, improve coordination and safely challenge the balance with Yoga poses and creative movement patterns.
