  1. I learned so much valuable information from reading through your post today! Thanks so much for sharing this with us. 🙂

  2. Yoga is so important and thanks for a gentle reminder. I need to get back at it too.

  3. 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.
