Yoga for the young at heart : gentle stretching exercises for seniors

Summary: Whatever your body type, fitness level, or time constraints, you can enjoy the benefits of yoga. Susan Winter Ward presents a series of yoga poses for all levels of ability, including beginners of all ages. The series can be practiced anytime or anywhere - at home for an evening or morning routine, as a quick pick-me-up at work or while traveling, and for rest and restoration after a busy day. The basic series can be expanded with suggested alternative poses and variations, offering challenges for the more experienced yoga student. Other poses offer relief from stress and encourage deep relaxation. Additional sections offer yoga especially for women that can help ease symptoms of menopause and seated yoga for office, travel, and the physically challenged.
