Current Playlist for Chair Yoga for Fall Prevention with Gail P-B.
Received some nice feedback on the Fall Prevention Chair Yoga class, that has been added to the schedule for online offerings for Veterans Yoga Project online studio.
It is an hour long class, then we have a discussion afterwards of what worked well for the folks, and what did not work well. Everyone is in a different place in their balance journey, so it is a “balance” (ha ha) to try to please most folks. (Get it, “balance”, Fall Prevention?)
When I was in a breast cancer study at MD Anderson a couple of years ago (get my mammograms at either the Houston, or Conroe location), one of the testing parameters was how many “Sit to Stands” movements I could do, unassisted. If one is below the average in these numbers, then there is a high probability that you will have a fall.
I shared this image a couple of years ago on my Instagram feed. It has stuck with me all these years.

Gentle Yoga and Tai Chi with Gail 
The classes are free on Veterans Yoga Project online studio site. You register with an account, you can also download an app on your device, and you can “book” the class that you want to take. Veterans, family, friends, community members are all invited to attend.
Chair Yoga for Fall Prevention is Fridays at 1 PM CST (think Texas time). A 60 minute class. It follows a traditional aerobics class format. A warmup, a workout of strength building & flexiblity, then balance/stretching movements, ending with guided rest & relaxation and a gratitude practice. Love to see YOU in class!
