Issues haven’t modified in the previous few a long time. The CDC experiences that falls proceed to be the supply of well being problems1 for elders 65 years and older. Multiple out of 4 older folks falls annually.

Over the course of 27 years, I’ve developed strategies to assist hundreds of individuals stand up and down safely in my therapeutic yoga follow.

Since we do yoga totally on the ground, that implies that every pupil of mine has needed to get some expertise shifting right down to and up off the ground independently. I prefer to make it possible for each individual that I work with can transfer right down to the ground after which stand up off the ground with as a lot grace as doable.

The simplest methodology that I exploit to take action known as the Therapeutic Solar Salutation^©. I educate it to everybody—younger and previous, match or frail. Everybody that I encounter will get their very own model of this vital follow.  

I particularly love this follow as a result of as soon as a shopper learns learn how to use it, they’ll scale back their threat of being caught on the ground within the occasion of an unintended fall. They’ll additionally use it to verify in with their physique and do a self-assessment of how nicely they’re shifting and functioning in that second.
