Yoga for Healthy Neuromuscular Aging - Keys to Fracture Prevention, Mobility and Balance

Yoga for Healthy Neuromuscular Aging - Keys to Fracture Prevention, Mobility, and Balance with Lynn Crimando

In this 3-part online course, yoga therapist Lynn Crimando will show how we can use yoga to enhance neuromuscular integration and agility to help enhance coordination and freedom of movement.

“Healthy neuromuscular aging is a multidimensional affair,” explains Lynn. “Slowing neuromuscular aging is less about static postures and more about training ourselves to maintain a broad repertoire of functional movements.”

Yoga has the ideal tools to help in this process, Lynn notes.

In the course, we will examine how yoga can help us enhance neuromuscular integration to maintain stability and mobility throughout our lives. We’ll experiment with new approaches to practice using props, mudra, breath, and other proprioceptive and resistance tools.

What You Will Learn:

• How our sensory faculties work in concert to create efficient neuromuscular movement, sensorimotor integration, and musculoskeletal activation.
• The importance of proprioception, especially how the proprioceptively rich palms of the hands and soles of the feet play a key role in establishing better balance in both stillness and movement.
• How to enhance proprioceptive awareness through asana practice.
• How to work with breath-based asana practice to progressively build better balance and stabilize your system from the core outward
• Surprising new research about proprioception that may help restore balance in cases of stroke, Parkinson’s, and other chronic conditions that affect walking.
• Simple steps you can take throughout the day to improve balance and neuromuscular integration.
