Improve Balance, Stability and Joint Health
As you age, joint movement becomes stiffer and less flexible because the amount of lubricating fluid inside your joints decreases and the cartilage becomes thinner. Ligaments also tend to shorten and lose some flexibility, making joints feel stiff.
In yoga classes we stretch to stretch. And that’s great! Expect this class to be a little more precise as to what, where, and how we stretch to provide a healthier joint system.
Healthy or healthier joints are important as we age and can affect….Balance!
The cerebellum sits at the back of the brain and controls your sense of balance. This allows you to stand up, walk in a straight line, and know if you are standing up or sitting down.
Plain ol’ aging can affect this area of the brain – especially if we don’t ‘exercise it’. And that’s what we plan to do! It’s not as much about balancing on one leg as it is other things we will be doing for brain health.
There are multiple other reasons one could have balance concerns (ie medications, vertigo, low blood pressure to name a few). Everyone is welcome.
But there is more…! We will target the parasympathetic nervous system (which we want to do) with an appropriate amount a breathwork during this time together.
Then, just before we anchor in a period of guided relaxation, we meticulously work with breath techniques to enhance a deeper relaxation to help manifest the work we just did.
Our breath is like an intimate friend that is always with us.
