Better balance for life, Banish the Fear of Falling

​In this month of raising the mental health awareness and especially stress awareness, I would like to start dedicating it to the most vulnerable ones, but also the ones who need to be celebrated, greeted with gratitude, love and respect.

The elderly.

We are all here because of them, our parents, our grandparents. We owe them everything. 

This new situation puts them at the highest risk of getting infected with the virus. They are isolated. They might have many different health concerns, and also some might be facing anxiety, fear, depression.
Their physical functions might be deteriorating because of lack of activities, or simply because they age. 

As we age, we lose balance first and then fear of falling and suffering a severe, oftentimes life-threatening injury prevent them from moving a lot even when in limited space.

We can help them. We are here for them ​just ​like they were here for us.

Today I would like to offer my daily specialised classes for anyone with reduced mobility, but especially for those 60+ and those who have fear of falling.

We will learn how to regain the balance and stability, on how to stay physically engaged.

Every day at 11 am.

I have reached into decades of my experience in yoga and meditation and different exercise methods and created the program that aims to improve balance by integrating the routines into daily life.

We will learn how to utilise whatever furniture we have around us and how to practice while rinsing dishes, talking on the phone, even taking a shower.

I can really recommend getting the book by Carol Clements: Better balance for life, Banish the Fear of Falling with Simple Activities Added to Your Everyday Routine. It has been a bestseller in the USA and she has been appointed as a National Osteoporosis Foundation Ambassador.
