Rewind Yoga for Healthy Aging

As more people become interested in the benefits of yoga, it has become important to develop classes that are safe and accessible for the general population. Rewind Yoga does just that. Designed for adults 50 and older, it offers a practice that is inclusive, regardless of age, fitness level or body type. Rather than being a practice of trying to get the body into poses, accessible yoga shifts the focus to curiosity: What does my body want/need in this pose? The yoga is not in the pose, it is in meeting your body with kindness and attention as you explore what serves you and what does not.

 

Rewind Yoga is an evidence-based sequence developed by YMedica and studied in partnership with Arizona State University. Study results showed an improvement for six different metrics, as measured by the functional fitness test. The class focuses on three areas: developing balance, increasing flexibility and building functional strength. Students in the study also reported additional benefits, including reduced stress, alleviation of symptoms associated with chronic conditions, and promotion of healthy body awareness. In addition, moving through the same sequence provides a sense of safety and is soothing for the nervous system.

 

If you’ve ever wanted to try yoga, but felt you wouldn’t be able to do it, Rewind Yoga offers a safe, accessible practice that meets you where you are, in the body you have.
