"EASY YOGA PLUS!"
History and Mission
"Easy Yoga Plus!" is a yoga program (trademarked in Wisconsin in 2018) and recommended for older adults and others who do not find other forms of yoga accessible.
"Easy Yoga Plus!" is easy, slow, and safe. It also incorporates skills and tips to make daily living easier, focusing attention on learning more about the limitations in the body and ways to meet these challenges. Evidence-based research has been instrumental in defining aging conditions and how yoga should be modified to be both safe and benefical.
HOW IT ALL BEGAN - In my early 70's my activities became less enjoyable because of my developing limitations. This was when a Groupon offer for 30 days of unlimited yoga prompted the beginning of my yoga practice. Check out the About Ellen page to learn more about my journey from "really old" to my current transformed life of vitality and purpose.
MISSION
Our mission is to serve the "older adult" and others with limitations. On the right you will see the Goals for the "Easy Yoga Plus!" program.
