Susan Tuttle in Home Fitness: Breath of Life Yoga 1 Seniors

Breath of Life Yoga provides two stress-reducing, muscle-stretching Yoga workouts! These two 30-minute sessions are perfect for beginners and active older adults. Enjoy safe and comfortable Yoga both seated in a chair and standing using a chair for support.

Workout 1 introduces basic sitting Yoga poses to increase flexibility and to relax your body and mind. These stretches done regularly can improve circulation and enhance movement for common daily activities.

Workout 2 is performed while standing, using a chair for support. You will learn to improve your breathing while increasing oxygen flow throughout your body. Dissolve stress and release tension with this workout. As people become less mobile in life, muscles tighten and shorten often resulting in pain to joints and vertebrae. Muscle shortening can make extending limbs difficult. Yoga stretching is believed to reverse this muscular decline, further your range of motion and increase blood flow to relax stiff muscles. Integrate your Mind, Body and Breath with every moment.
