I have been intimidated by the thought of taking yoga, but I'm finding there are many different styles. I will see what the class says about yoga, and other movement methods.bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589840841266507266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-30967229487056371072015-05-19T06:08:29.525-04:002015-05-19T06:08:29.525-04:00Our county has a large population of seniors and s...Our county has a large population of seniors and some good programs. Prevention of falls is now becoming something doctors in our area now look at if the patient is over 80, from what I understand.

My husband and I experienced something similar when we attended the information sessions prior to his first hip replacement, and were by FAR the youngest people in the room! I think what's important is getting the information and reassurance you need, and it sounds like you're ready to do that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07740633364461217423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-61696467931228661752015-05-18T21:51:23.126-04:002015-05-18T21:51:23.126-04:00No, don't feel self-conscious.

After two surgeries, a lot of PT, and a spinal surgery, I have found that practicing yoga has improved my balance tremendously. That being said, I would think this class would be very useful.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045554938847356871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-63038330249863529922015-05-18T18:31:55.617-04:002015-05-18T18:31:55.617-04:00I have not heard of classes for this kind of Healt...I have not heard of classes for this kind of Health Issue except as part of Rehab. It's a great thing. Good for you, and even if you are in a class of older seniors, your presence there will be encouraging for others. Falling is a MAIN FOCUS in all Senior Care Centers and Rehab facilities. I learned this when my mother dealt with this after falling and breaking three ribs. It will be interesting to see how your class turns out. I know you will let us know.<br />Sue at <a href="http://collectintexasgal.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">CollectInTexas Gal</a>Sue McPeakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927975578544675345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-14699826238747967712015-05-18T18:18:38.444-04:002015-05-18T18:18:38.444-04:00Reverse ageism. yes, I agree there is such a thing...Reverse ageism. yes, I agree there is such a thing.

She now lives in Florida under the careful watch of her daughter. Falls are terrifying and she's lucky to have recovered. Many people are not as fortunate. sojournerhttp://sojournersojourns.comnoreply@blogger.com
