I like yoga, its fun and my body feels relaxed afterwards. I have never tried chair yoga but it sounds cool.
What a wonderful thing to do with Seniors. I know that my Nana enjoyed things like this too.
This sounds like a great way to get seniors moving. Yoga is such an awesome form of exercise!
I learned so much valuable information from reading through your post today! Thanks so much for sharing this with us. 🙂
This is such a great idea. I also just wanted to say because of you, I have started doing my sun salutations again in the morning! Thank you!
Easy going yoga can be so beneficial for the ageing population! Plus, it doesn’t take a lot out of you to do.
This is perfect for seniors. Awesome!
This looks good for the seniors. I might show this to my parents. Thanks for sharing!
Been doing some work outs and yeah I love yoga too! Indeed this is a great way for seniors to exercise.
Yoga is so important and thanks for a gentle reminder. I need to get back at it too.
A lovely sharing here, it’s important & reminder to me to apply on my mama 🙂
I will share this to my Mom who starts doing yoga. Thank you for this post.
Thanks for sharing Agnes! Hope you are well 🙂
When I grow old, I’d like to be moving and keeping healthy too. It is really important to have these things available within the community, so that people of all ages, can access it when they need it.
Its so important to keep moving, lovely to hear from you Crickette. Hope you are well.
This sounds like an absolute delight for seniors.
Yoga is especially beneficial to senior citizens because it’s low-impact plus it can help relax them. It’s nice that there are equipment for them to use as well.
This is a great idea! I think my mom would love to participate in these classes. Yoga is transformational.
She would be very welcome 🙂
