Yoga for Radiant Aging
2024-04-19 - 2024-04-21 | Opossum Creek Retreat, 239 Opossum Creek Retreat Road, Victor, WV, 25938, United States
Yoga For Radiant Aging: Merging Modern Science with Ancient Yogic Practices.
Learn how to practice yoga as we age with radiance, vibrancy, & health. Around the age of 35 we begin to slowly lose bone density, muscle mass, co-ordination, brain function, and lung volume. There is a wealth of new scientific research that demonstrates how yoga is uniquely suited to slow and even reverse this process. For instance, Dr. Loren Fishman has published research on how yoga can increase bone density. The research show that certain practices can make you functionally younger. The earlier you begin these practices the more reserve you will have as you age. The good news, which research supports, is that it is never too late to begin to “buy back functional years” using these practices (Attia, 2023).
For students and teachers of all ages. Format is lecture with slide show, 60 minute asana, yoga nidra, & savasana. Asana will include modifications for all levels. Ending with discussion and Q&A.
12 CEUs through Yoga Alliance. Teachers may count these 12 hours towards the upcoming 25 hour Yoga For Radiant Aging Certification. Details coming soon.
