Yoga for Seniors DVD
About the DVD
The program is only 35 minutes long, and can be done in everyday clothing with shoes on, and the
only equipment needed is a sturdy chair. There are two, 35 minute sections on the DVD: a live
yoga class with students ranging in age from 73 to 92, and an instructor-only section. All the
movements are done either seated in a chair, or standing alongside a chair.
The carefully chosen sequence of movements in this DVD will gently stretch and strengthen all the
major muscles of the body; move the joints through their full range of motion to keep them supple
and healthy; and will help develop a better sense of balance. The program is very easy to follow,
with all of the movements clearly explained and demonstrated.
All the movements have been chosen for their functional usefulness and their contribution towards
helping seniors to live a fuller, more independent life. For example, we work a lot on strengthening
the feet and ankles and developing stronger balance to help avoid falls, and the devastating
consequences of falls. We work on strengthening the thighs, because they are so important for
getting up and down from chairs, and into and out of cars. We do many range of motion
movements for the shoulders, arms and hands, for greater ease in performing everyday tasks such
as getting dressed and doing housework. We move the spine in all directions and throughout
emphasize sitting and standing tall to strengthen core muscles and develop better posture. Full
deep breathing is encouraged throughout so that the brain gets the oxygen it needs for clear
thinking, and the whole body and mind feels both more relaxed and energized.
I have a strong background in yoga for seniors. I have been practicing yoga for 33 years, and have
been teaching yoga for 11 years, including 4 years of gentle yoga and 3 years of senior yoga. I've
taken college level Anatomy and Physiology, and studied Yoga Anatomy with a Physical Therapist.
I've completed both the Silver Age Yoga for Seniors teacher training program and the Silver
sneakers yoga teacher training program.
At only $12.00, this is one of the best bargains available for your long term health and quality of life.
Giving one as a gift to a loved one is a wonderful way to show them you care.

I created this DVD based on three years of
teaching yoga to Seniors at the Buffalo Hill
Terrace, an asssisted living facility in Kalispell,
MT. The class is very popular. My students, in
their mid 70's to early 90's, tell me things like:
"Finally an exercise program I can really DO"
"This is exactly what my body needs"
"I just feel so good after our yoga class"
"This is the first time in my life I've ever enjoyed
exercising"
"I don't dare not do our yoga, it's what keeps me
going strong"
I wanted to share this program with others, and so
created this DVD.
