Yoga for Seniors with Jane Adams: Improve Balance, Strength & Flexibility with Gentle Senior Yoga. Includes 3 complete programs for different levels of ability.

Improve strength, balance & flexibility with these easy yoga routines filmed in a beautiful flower garden. Designed to help seniors live fuller, more active & independent lives, this DVD has 3 complete yoga practices to meet the varying needs and abilities of people over 70. Level 1 (26 minutes) is done all seated in a chair, and emphasizes gentle movements to improve strength, range-of-motion, joint health, and posture, and works the body as fully as possible while seated in a chair. Level 2 (40 minutes) alternates sitting in a chair, with standing alongside and holding onto a chair for stability. Level 2 works on developing strength and flexibility evenly through out the entire body, and includes many movements to improve balance and increase foot, ankle and leg strength. Level 3 (55 minutes) also alternates sitting in a chair with standing, but is an overall stronger and longer practice than level 2, with more time spent on the standing and balancing poses. Level 3 is broke down into 6 shorter segments for greater choice. All these routines place special emphasis on working the muscles and joints most needed in everyday life, and to help prevent falls. They all emphasize good posture, full deep breathing, and end with a short relaxation and meditation for a more alert body and mind. Designed and taught by Jane Adams, RYT 500, a yoga practitioner since 1976 who specializes in yoga for healthy ageing.
