This is true healing yoga on a simplified scale. I don’t understand how something that looks so easy can have any affect on your well-being, but it definitely does. Soothing music and a beginning relaxation session get your body and mind ready for the exercises. Easy gentle moves all while seated in a chair with emphasis on deep breathing gets oxygen to all the muscles that are being stretched and creates the miracle :o) And the time flies by – total of 40 minutes including the ending relaxation, but it seems more like only 5 minutes have passed so don’t be afraid it will take too long and that you will get bored. It’s the best 40 minutes I could ever spend. I haven’t gone past the basic session yet but hope to soon start making use of Anne’s other DVD set for seniors, called Stretch & Strength, on alternate days. I had so much improvement in the first couple of weeks I have since bought 8 DVDs as gifts for family and friends that I thought might get some benefit from it. Before receiving this DVD, I thought the rest of my life would be spent on the sofa. Thank you Anne for saving my life! Namaste! –Alma W., Clinton, AR

Dear Anne, I cannot begin to tell you of how much I love your Yoga for Seniors DVD. Yoga has been a passion of mine for several years and at 53 years old, this past spring I became a certified instructor and have been instructing the more mature adult ( no one under 65 ) at a retirement facility. I purchased your DVD and have been using many of the wonderful poses you do for these women of whom I instruct. They Love It!!!! They prefer a slow gradual seated pose as opposed to someone who runs them through a series. These women are in wheelchairs and on walkers with other issues as well, however, they have determination to improve their health and flexibility, as best as they can. I am so grateful for your DVD and am so willing to learn more and new things so that I can offer these women more gifts. Please add me to your mailing list and if you ever hold any kind of weekend yoga conference for the mature adult, I am only 4 hours away! Thank you! God Bless! Namaste! –Mallory Patton, Wisconsin
