Community Outreach
Silver Age Yoga’s mission is to provide health enhancing and life enriching yoga practices to our underserved senior population. Our Silver Age Yoga Community Outreach program is providing yoga classes specifically designed to meet seniors’ health concerns on a weekly basis, at no charge to the seniors. Classes are taught by certified Silver Age Yoga teachers. If you're interested in attending one of our classes, please Find a Class near you.
Senior Yoga Class
While there is no cost to the seniors, there are costs involved in delivering the program. As a non-profit, all monies are raised via donations and financial support from the communities we serve. For more information on how you can support our work, please visit the Support Us section of our site.
Silver Age Yoga certified teachers are invited to participate in our Community Outreach program. There are SEVA and compensation components that are explained in the study materials received from the Online Certification program.
Benefits of practicing Yoga
Yoga utilizes a combination of:
- breathing (expanding the lung's capacity to handle an increased amount of oxygen intake) to rejuvenate, repair and create new cells;
- meditation (calming the mind, releasing stress and anxiety);
- physical posturing (asanas), designed to strengthen the musculo-skeletal structure, to increase bone density by doing weight-bearing exercises (to prevent osteoporosis); lubricate joints (reducing arthritis);
- alignment (or re-alignment) balances of the body's skeletal structure;
- stimulation of the endocrine system which promotes the increase of beneficial hormonal activities.
