Keeping Fit in Your 50s: Flexibility - DVD

Yoga is a great way to generate (overall) health, vitality, and joy in your life. Filmed in a rich garden overlooking the Pacific Ocean, these two complimentary programs are specially designed to build strength and flexibility in the body, mind, and spirit. The invigorating Strength practice offers total body conditioning with powerful sequences that tone all major muscle groups, build endurance, cultivate mental focus, and increase energy levels. The gentle Flexibility practice unravels tension patterns in both the body and the mind by linking the breath to simple flowing movements that provide a total body stretch, increase range of motion, enhance agility, help reduce risk of injury, and ease all forms of movement. Practice in the morning to stimulate circulation and start your day with calm clarity. Or, practice in the evening to unwind away the stress of the day and prepare for a rejuvenating sleep.

Filmed in a serene garden overlooking the Pacific Ocean, these two beginner level yoga programs are designed to help you receive all of the benefits that yoga has to offer and feel like you are getting one-on-one instruction in the comfort of your home. The Foundations Program is based on common Hatha postures that are the basis of most yoga practices. It will help you improve your flexibility, build strength and stress as you increase your confidence with yoga. The Slow Flow Program links postures together in a way that is easy to follow. It will help increase your muscle tone, boost your energy level, improve your balance and leave you feeling rejuvenated. The Bonus Guided Meditation requires nothing more than the focus of your mind yet the results can be powerful. Meditation has been known to help people to relax, feel more centered, be more present in every moment and live life to the fullest.

Yoga is one of the best ways to cultivate a connection between your mind and body. It tones muscles, increases flexibility, calms the mind, and can improve overall health. Elena Brower is instructor.
