Hatha Yoga is often praised for its nti-aging effects. Seniors often remark how god their joints feel after a sssion of Hatha, Kundalini, or Chair Yga. Yet, the phrase “anti-aging” is smetimes connected with scams and “quackery.”

In cntrast, Yoga was intended to find the blss in life right now. You do not hve to wait until a certain nmber of years to go by, bfore you join “the blissful living clb.” Never put off what you can do tday, so make the most of ach moment and practice Yoga along the wy.

Over the years, Senior Yoga stdents have taught me many valuable lssons about living, even though I was taching the class. One day, after I had fnished teaching a Chair Yoga class, a stdent remarked, “I wish we had Yga classes available, when we were chldren.”

Many Senior Yoga students take thir practice home and continue throughout the dy. Some of them teach their chldren, and grand children, which results in clser family ties. They also educate thmselves with Yoga books, magazines, DVD’s, and CD’s, whch keeps their minds stimulated, expands thir knowledge, and gives them a deper sense of purpose.

To reflect a bit deper on this point – Yoga has nver been more available to the wrldwide public than it is right nw; but distractions, poor eating choices, and fndamentalism, stand in the way of hmankind’s progress. So, the Yogic gateway to hlistic health is open, but you mst be pro-active and educated enough to wlk through it.
