Seniors Yoga is a specific form of the exercise that uses chairs for body placement.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, falls are the leading cause of injury death for people ages 65 and older. Researchers from the School of Podiatric Medicine at Temple University in Philadelphia examined the gait and postural stability of 24 elderly participants who were enrolled in a yoga program specifically designed for people over age 65.
At the end of the nine-week program, participants had shown following results:
faster stride, increased flexibility in the lower extremities. More confidence
in walking, improved single-leg stance and improved balance
Jinsup Song, D.P.M., Ph.D., Director of the Gait Study Center at Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine: "People are gaining more confidence as they stand and walk at the end of the yoga intervention. People are more aware of their body posture. It (yoga) opens up a whole range of treatment options we didn't think we had before.
"Researchers say this preliminary study will pave the way for a larger study on how yoga may affect the function of the foot to improve balance and stability, and prevent falls.
Sessions available early morning or during lunch time Monday-Friday.
Yoga is instructed at a space on your premises. Given the fact that it is mostly a chair yoga session, the space should have the number of chairs corresponding to the number of seniors.
Each session will last from 45 to 60 minutes.
Though we try to keep classes small to give each student more
personal attention, there is no limit to number of participants per session.
Classes in Russian, English and Spanish.
