Steffi Shapiro's Elder-Yoga
presents a multifaceted approach to
exercise, health and well-being. Her calm
demeanor and clear descriptions allow the
elder to easily understand each and every
movement performed, as well as the
potential deeper meaning and
psycho-spiritual benefits that can result
from practicing yoga. Steffi's many years
of experience teaching and studying yoga
shine brightly in this video as a
true-to-form transmission of the yoga
discipline while simultaneously making
this ancient form of exercise easily
accessible to today's seniors.

Not only have I received
relief from my aches and pains, I'm a more
relaxed person, and I find that
emotionally I'm in better control now.

I recommend the yoga to
all of my friends. Everybody is afraid a
little that it will be too rough or too
strong. I say "No, it's not like that. You
just come and see."

I was a little depressed,
and yoga is one of the things that helped
me a great deal... You can feel much
stress reduction after an hour of
yoga.

It has been very helpful,
keeping me focused and lively and
attentive, and keeps me going. Even if I
can't always do everything, most of it I
can do very well.

I feel better when I get
home, and I can walk better. It makes me
feel better about myself. I feel much more
limber.

I find it very relaxing
and enjoyable. It gives me exercise but
does not wear me out. It's very easy and
relaxing and nice to do.
