Things haven’t modified in the previous couple of a long time. The CDC reviews that falls proceed to be the supply of well being issues1 for elders 65 years and older. More than one out of 4 older folks falls every year.
Over the course of 27 years, I’ve developed strategies to assist 1000’s of individuals stand up and down safely in my therapeutic yoga observe.
Since we do yoga totally on the ground, that implies that every scholar of mine has needed to get some expertise transferring all the way down to and up off the ground independently. I wish to guarantee that each individual that I work with can transfer all the way down to the ground after which stand up off the ground with as a lot grace as doable.
The handiest methodology that I exploit to take action is known as the Therapeutic Sun Salutation©. I train it to everybody—younger and previous, match or frail. Everyone that I encounter will get their very own model of this necessary observe.
I particularly love this observe as a result of as soon as a consumer learns use it, they will scale back their danger of being caught on the ground within the occasion of an unintentional fall. They can even use it to verify in with their physique and do a self-assessment of how effectively they’re transferring and functioning in that second.
