How life Moves is about adapting to change including ageing and reduced mobility. 

 A subtle difference to working with Chair Yoga – this session aims to remind us of the evolutionary pathway that we all are on and to explore how different people require different adaptations at various stages. 

There will be some recap of anatomy & physiology looking at the communicating systems of the body from the perspective of the felt experience/somatic awareness of change throughout life.  We will also look at the different aspects and tools of yoga and how they can be used to enhance practice and support changes brought about by different stages of life and common disease processes.   

Topics will include: 

• Stiffening of the fascia and the effects of gravity on our bodies

• The effects of the ageing process on muscles and joints

• Playful movement how to generate feelings of wellbeing

• Soma and the mind-body continuum

• Pranayama and the Koshas as integral parts of yoga practice.
