Stronger Seniors Yoga, modified for the chair was created for Seniors and those with limited mobility. It incorporates all of the benefits of yoga (a healthier, stronger and more relaxed you), without the risk of injury from hyperextension that some beginning yoga programs can cause. Participants receive not only the physical aspects of Yoga (postures), but also the more quiet and meditative aspects of breath awareness, good for increasing oxygen intake and for stimulating the relaxation response. Stronger Seniors Yoga lets you tune in to your own body's rhythms, let go of mental stress and muscle tension, and increase flexibility- all at the same time. Stronger Seniors Yoga is good for what ails you. Specifically, research shows that yoga helps manage or control anxiety, arthritis, asthma, back pain, blood pressure, carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic fatigue, depression, diabetes, epilepsy, headaches, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, stress and other conditions and diseases. Stronger Seniors Yoga also improves muscle tone, flexibility, strength and stamina, reduces stress and tension, boosts self esteem, improves concentration and creativity, improves circulation, lowers fat and chronically high cortisol levels, stimulates the immune system, and creates sense of well being and calm.
