Hey Senior Women! September is upon us, bringing cooler breezes and a day dedicated to something truly important: National Women’s Health and Fitness Day (September 28th, mark your calendars!).
This day is all about celebrating the incredible power and resilience of Senior Women’s bodies. It’s a reminder to prioritize our health and well-being, no matter our age.
Why Gentle Yoga is Perfect for Senior Women
Gentle yoga styles like yin yoga, chair yoga, and restorative yoga are ideal for Senior Women because they offer a low-impact, safe, and effective way to stay active and healthy. These styles focus on holding poses for longer periods, allowing for deeper stretches and relaxation.
- Yin yoga: Yin yoga is a slower paced yoga compared to other styles but can be challenging as it targets the deepest tissues of the body, connective tissues – ligaments, joints, bones, the deep fascia networks of the body and the meridians. Equipment: Yoga mat. Optional Equipment: Yoga blocks, Yoga Wheel, and Yoga strap.
- Chair yoga: Gentle seated yoga to improve balance, flexibility, and range of motion. This style is perfect for those who want to stay active at their own pace. No experience necessary. Equipment: Sturdy armless chair. Optional Equipment: Yoga blocks and Yoga strap.
- Restorative yoga: Relax with restorative yoga. This gentle practice uses props and supported postures to melt away stress, improve flexibility, and promote overall well-being. Perfect for all levels to unwind and find your inner peace. Equipment: Yoga mat. Optional Equipment: Yoga blocks and Yoga strap.
