Yoga Therapy Hour with Amy Wheeler 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 an Associates Degree in Physical Therapy and being 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.
