Do you really still thinking that Yoga is infeasible at your age? Take a sit and stay young!
Thinking about yoga inevitably brings to mind well-trained bodies and contortionist poses, something that may have always kept you away from yoga, inevitably making you think, "No, it's not for me!" or "No, I can't! "
Especially at a certain age, aches and pains affect us so much in daily life, limiting us in activities and gestures, deciding for us what we can do and what we can't, to the point that they often cause total inactivity, which is absolutely deleterious for the elderly.
It's very important to keep active, and yoga is the perfect means of getting regular exercise without overexertion.
In fact, with the simple addition of a chair as a support, it's possible to make this practice accessible to anyone, at any level, to women or men, at any age or physical condition, giving us a way to receive all the benefits from this wonderful discipline, including reducing the risk of injury due to falls in the elderly.
The book will feature:
What to know about Chair Yoga ― Things to know about it before to start, how to practice it in the right way, what I need and how it can help to keep your body youthful relieving daily aches solving physical discomforts; the importance of breathing, how and when to do it.
4 easy-to-practice sequences ― Practicable sessions for every level;
Warming upfor joints, limbs and senses.
