I checked this book out of the library partially to see how I stack up doing yoga at age 75. Looking at the preliminary exercises, I wasn't too confident of my ability, but going to meet of the poses showed me that I could do most of the poses in this book, even though really wasn't serious about yoga until I was 70. I'm not good at sun salutations, seated wide-leg pose, intense-stretch-of-the-west, bow poses, and tree pose. Some of the poses are presented with props which longer yogis don't usually do, like camel, cow face, reclining big toe, head-to-knee. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
As baby boomers pass age 50, problems with knees, ankles, and backs are leading them into lower-impact forms of fitness. The stress of career and later-in-life children also have them seeking new ways to relax. Combine these pressures and it is no surprise that yoga is increasing in popularity among the 50-plus crowd. Tailored specifically for this burgeoning population, 50+ Yoga offers a straightforward approach that makes it easy to learn yoga at any age. The book's adaptable program allows readers in good shape to experience a challenging workout, while people with physical limitations benefit from gentler postures, breathing exercises, and meditation practices. Throughout the book, the author focuses on the needs of older beginning students, providing tips for moving comfortably into a pose, avoiding injury, and using helpful props, such as chairs, foam blocks, and cotton straps. The author details the basic principles of yoga and teaches the common elements of all postures and movements: alignment, breath, and awareness. However, the vast majority of the book is devoted to teaching the yoga poses through the use of step-by-step photos, clearly written instructions, and helpful hints from the author.
