Summary:
"Everyone would like to age as heathfully as possible and now numerous studies confirm what many
yoga
practitioners have known for a long time:
yoga
practice has a remarkable impact on physical and mental health--and spiritual well-being--as you grow older.
Yoga
for
Healthy
Aging
is the most accessible and usable
guide
available on how
yoga
can address concerns related to strength, flexibility, balance, agility, cardiovascular health, brain health, and stress management, among other issues. The authors--both popular and respected
yoga
teachers (one of whom is a family physician) provide readers with a
yoga
toolbox for
healthy
aging
that includes poses, breathing practices, meditation, and
yoga
philosophy. They then offer you a safe, real-world
yoga
program to suit your particular needs. These short
yoga
practices were developed in consultation with scientific and medical experts on
aging
, and allow you to focus on maintaining overall physical health and/or addressing target problem areas, such as digestion, cardiovascular health, or anxiety. The authors conclude with instructions for practicing several different forms of conscious relaxation and meditation, all of which will set you up for a lifetime of emotional and spiritual
well-being
. This book includes over 200 instructional photos."--From publisher.
