Yoga för seniorer / Yoga for the golden age

Dagens “seniorer” är aktiva människor. Kroppen åldras dock, det är ett ovedersägligt faktum. Yoga är ett sätt att hålla leder och muskler och sinne i trim. Fördelen är att yogan arbetar på flera nivåer, inte enbart den fysiska. Ring eller mejla för information om kurser och tider, 0723061707 eller svasthastockholm@proton.me

Yoga for the golden age. Maybe jumping around on a mat doesn’t appeal to you anymore. No worry, yoga can be applied in many different ways, to suit all age groups. Yoga works on different levels, the physical, mental and spiritual. All of these become more important as we age.

He is a doctor, formally trained in both modern medicine and Ayurveda. He is the co-author of the Mohans’ book, Yoga Therapy. He is deeply interested in the profound wisdom of the Yogasutras of Patanjali, which he continues to study and teach.

Yoga Philosophy of Patanjali by Hariharananda Aranya

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are universally acknowledged as the fundamental text on yoga and meditation in the Indian classical tradition. This English translation o ‘Yoga Philosophy of Patanjali’ is widely regarded as the most authoritative and authentic that has been available in recent times. It is a serious and clear presentation of Patanjali’s sutras and Vyasa’s Bhasya, providing these basic texts both in the original Sanskrit and in readable and accurate English. These classical works are augmented by the commentary of Swami Hariharananda Aranya, a scholar and yogi of great repute, who, in his lifetime, was the foremost exponent in India of the Samkhya Yoga system of which the Yoga Aphorisms of Pantanjali are the principle work.

Gravidyoga – yoga för blivande mammor

Hör av dig om du vill gå på yoga under graviditeten! Du kan börja tidigast efter de första tre månaderna om du är nybörjare. Då har tröttheten och illamåendet avtagit och det kan vara skönt att sträcka och tänja försiktigt samtidigt som du får andas ordentligt.

Om du har yogat regelbundet före graviditeten och är i god form kan du med fördel fortsätta under graviditeten. Vi anpassar alltid yogan efter individen, så även för blivande mammor.

Hör ändå alltid med din läkare / barnmorska / eller annan vårdgivare innan du börjar yoga.

Studion är försedd med alla tillbehör, stolar, pölar, filtar, klossar, bälten, yogaägg, och så yogamattor förstås, som kan behövas.

“Yoga has been suggested as a treatment for disorders ranging from anxiety to multiple sclerosis. The scientific evidence regarding its benefits, however, is weak. But does this mean yoga should be ignored as a potentially useful complementary therapy? And what might be the pitfalls awaiting the physician who prescribes it? Adrian Burton investigates.”
