There is a proverb that says: “it isn’t what happens to us that causes us to suffer; it’s what we say to ourselves about what happens.” The same is true for aging: Aging doesn’t have to cause us to suffer, it is what we tell ourselves about aging that can mean suffering or not.
Of course there are changes that happen to our bodies as we age. This is normal. But it doesn’t mean the end of living a full and active life. We continue to live by remaining engaged, connected and involved. One of the best ways to do this is through gentle yoga and mediation that is designed specifically for our aging bodies/selves.
Aging with Equanimity ™ (AWE Yoga) is perfect for women, aged 50 and up, in all shapes and sizes who want to remain active and vibrant.*
AWE Yoga is a mixture of gentle dynamic and restorative yoga poses along with a calming guided meditation followed by a facilitated discussion and snack. The practice simultaneously promotes fitness and relaxation, leaving you more relaxed and energized. Poses, sequences and meditations are tailored towards the individual needs of the group.
AWE Yoga calms the mind and nervous system as well as stretching and toning muscles – all important ingredients to healthy aging. It provides a complete fitness combination for cardio, strength, balance, core training, flexibility and equanimity.
We are social beings, hard-wired for connection and aging isn’t meant to be a solitary activity. Join us for yoga, meditation and discussion.
This AWE Yoga practice takes place on Sunday August 25, 1:30-3:30 pm. In Sunnyvale CA. Advance registration required (no drop-ins). Address given after registration. Cost is $30 per person, or $50 for two people.
