Caring for our Elderly Loved Ones with Anne Smith Basco, C-IAYT

Anne and Amy discuss the beauty and challenges of aging, both for us and our elderly parents and clients. They talk about how yoga therapy can assist aging parents in those times between physical therapy appointments and after insurance no longer approves more sessions. The approach of yoga therapy is a Wholistic approach that focuses on physical improvements, breathing exercises, mental and emotional well-being, combatting loneliness and creating connection, and possibly even feeling the spirit alive and well in one’s life.·     Anne gives examples of how she helps her clients improve their physical activity and mobility, having been a Physical Therapy Aid and a Yoga Therapist.·     The importance of breath and the impact on the nervous system is discussed.·     How elderly people need meaning and purpose, and a reason to wake-up in the morning.·     The deep connections that are sometimes formed between the client and yoga therapist and even the client’s family.·     Helping clients manage their body and mind as it deteriorates, cleaning up any regrets and getting honest about their life.·     Tuning into the sacred or spirit-filled areas of their lives.If you would like to receive the free infographics and handouts that correspond to each episode on the Yoga Therapy Hour Podcast, please subscribe to our segmented email list. You will have the opportunity to determine the Infographic Topics that you would like to receive. When The Yoga Therapy Hour Podcast has a topic that corresponds to your choices, then you will receive an email for that week with the PDF’s for download.Topics you can choose from include: Yoga Therapy & Mental HealthYoga Therapy & Physical HealthSocial Justice in yoga & Yoga TherapyYoga/Ayurveda ToolboxYoga & Indian PhilosophyGlobal & Trending Yoga Therapy TopicsClick the link below to subscribe. It takes 10 seconds total.https://amywheeler.com/subscribe Check out Amy's website Visit Amy’s training section on her website to check out the courses belowYoga therapy training courses 865-certified-yoga-therapist-program www.optimalstateyoganidra.com Contact Anne Smith Basco: therapeuticyogawithanne.com (do not use- www at the beginning)
