Fall Prevention Practice
Yoga and Meditation
•
37m
This video uses traditional yoga poses as well as specific functional movements to strengthen ankle, hip, and core stabilizers to aid in fall prevention. It also incorporates building upper body core and arm strength to push yourself up from the floor in the event of a fall. Perfect for re-building strength after illness, injury, or surgery, and for building the strength toward common stabilizing postures like plank. As with any form of movement or exercise, please consult with your physician and make sure there are no medical reasons why you should not perform some of these exercises. My aim is to make yoga as accessible as possible. Your task is to listen to your own body (your best teacher) and not move in any way that causes pain or discomfort.
