Balance & Aging & Yoga

“It is not possible to prevent all falls…….but we can limit the number that happen”.

…….results indicate that YOGA may be a promising intervention to manage fear of falling (FoF) and improve balance, thereby reducing fall risk for older adults…….

Yesterday, at Poppy Residence in Burnaby B.C., a polling station took over our regular Chair Yoga space. But, yoga is ADAPTABLE……so we used the beautiful lounge instead.

It is important to practice your balance whenever you can, wherever you can!
