I am a certified Eldys’ Yoga Practice instructor. Practicing Eldys’ Yoga gives me incredible benefits to my own physical and mental balance, blood pressure and overall calmness. I was also surprised to find that I can now drift to sleep easier at night. My students have equally praised the benefits. A student with arthritis tells me that she has a greater range of flexibility because of doing these yoga postures. Another student with COPD is thrilled because both her and her doctor see that the breathing postures improve her ability to exhale and therefore inhale. There are many such wonderful stories about the advantages from this gentle yoga practice Besides increasing strength and flexibility, improving circulation, and steadying your balance, there so many additional plusses to Eldys’ Yoga. Half the postures are done standing, and half are done sitting. As a number of students use walkers or wheelchairs, it’s great that all can be done sitting and you still get all the same benefits. Pictures and descriptions of the postures are given to every student, so you can practice anytime. Near the end of each Eldys’ Yoga session there is a posture called Savasna. It is amazingly restful, as you comfortably relax your body and mind. At the beginning of the session, and during Savasna, a “Thought of the Day” is read. I strongly urge you to treat yourself to this gentle Eldys’ Yoga practice. You do so much for other people all of your life – do this wonderful thing for yourself!
