Teaneck, NJ - Kavannah Yoga

I am very excited to offer Samadhi for Seniors, a new program that is very dear to my heart.

Here in the US, aging can be a stressful and even depressing process. Seniors are often either invisible or seen as a burgeoning market for various drugs to stave off the dreaded effects of old age. In our youth-oriented society, seniors are sometimes regarded as “dinosaurs” who are not in touch with the realities of today’s fast-paced high-tech world.

In India, growing older is viewed very differently. There, older people are venerated for their wisdom and life experience. Old age is viewed as a wonderful opportunity to fully pursue spirituality. Now that the responsibilities of the "householder stage of life" are over, seniors can fully devote themselves to spiritual growth through yoga and meditation.

Samadhi for Seniors is a program to allow seniors to engage in intense spiritual practice, with the goal of coming as close as possible to ultimate spiritual growth. We will be presenting the full array of yogic practices to our senior practitioners.

Asanas (yoga postures) modified appropriately for seniors, whether frail or active

Pranayama (yogic breathing techniques)

Intense meditation

Mantra Japa (yogic chanting)

Sound healing

Yoga Nidra (deep conscious relaxation)

You will not need to become a Sannyasin (renunciate) or move to an Ashram, of course, as many do in India. The program will take place in a center in your own neighborhood, or in the comfort and privacy of your own home.

I hope you will join us to deepen your spiritual experience, explore the wonderful dimensions that lie within you, and connect more deeply with yourself and others.

As we age, we often begin to develop specific physical, emotional, and spiritual issues, which can be greatly helped by yoga. At Kavannah Yoga, our philosophy is that when we reach “senior” status, we now have the opportunity to engage in a much more intensive spiritual quest. “Seniorhood” is an opportunity, not a burden! Of course, this is made more difficult as physical challenges arise. In our Yoga for Seniors class, the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of seniors will all be addressed.

Location
Mashpee, MA - Council on Aging

A 1 hour class appropriate for those who are comfortable sitting on the floor. This slow-moving class focuses on stretching the entire body and working the muscles in a gentle manner.

As we grow older, muscles shorten, tighten and weaken. Lack of weight-bearing activity contributes to osteoporosis and lack of stretching leads to joint deterioration, arthritis and loss of flexibility. These can combine to create poor posture, back and neck pain and loss of range of motion which limit daily activity.

The mindful stretching, deep breathing and relaxation techniques learned through yoga will help increase circulation, relieve tension, improve range of motion and increase breath capacity.

Yoga classes with Sherill are gentle, slow-moving classes using safe and appropriate postures that harness the therapeutic benefits of yoga in a comfortable and nurturing environment.
