Yoga Evidence Of A Healthy, Mobile Senior

Bob Crowther (65) today begins his seventh year of hatha yoga enjoying relatively good whole body mobility.

My daily yoga activities during this time have gradually contributed to improved physical movements without pain or discomfort.

I am pleased to share four asanas documenting progress twisting my spine, torso from various positions.

All my joints, muscles and various connective tissues have responded to diverse whole body yoga movements in a positive manner.

Significantly, current structural issues with my spine have not prevented me from moving better. 

Maintaining, improving on and acquiring new mobility abilities during the next twelve months will keep me motivated while having fun.

Future interactions, experiences with Ray Hoyt in The Yoga Loft will continue to offer unique opportunities to enhance my strength, balance, flexibility, breathing and mindfullness.
