The Best is yet to Come, Yoga50plus - Willem Wittstamm

Are you interested in Yoga on a Chair? Or Yoga for Seniors? Would you like to do yoga but you can't sit comfortably in Easy Pose or perform other exercises?

Or do you teach Kundalini Yoga and want to make it more accessible for beginners or people who are in the second half of their lives, for Yogis and Yoginis over fifty, or even over seventy? You love elderly people and want to show them possible ways of aging and doing yoga gracefully?

The Best is yet to Come – Yoga50plus is a great book that can support you in doing this. Its practical knowledge is based on the author’s many years of experience in teaching Kundalini Yoga to older students. There are many seniors who don't want to face the challenges of a “normal” yoga class, but still want the possibility to experience the depth of yoga. In this detailed yoga manual, you will learn how to adapt the most popular yoga sets in Kundalini Yoga and adjust them to the needs and abilities of seniors.

The concept of Yoga50plus has two main goals: to minimize the unwelcome signs of aging and to help the student to perceive the aging process as a benefit, a process of human development, which opens them up to a transformation from pure physical strength to powerful wisdom and insight. On the physical level, the three main objectives of Kundalini 50plus are: to maintain balance and coordination skills, to straighten the spine and increase its flexibility, and to expand lung capacity. Progress in these areas guarantees a better quality of life as you grow older.

Subtly, Kundalini 50plus helps you to align your life anew in relation to the changing conditions and challenges of the aging process. The wide range of meditations found in the teachings of Yogi Bhajan offer the perfect tools on the way “to aging successfully”.

The best is yet to come - Yoga50plus contains:

• over 400 full-color fotos & illustrations
• 21 sets inspired from Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan
• 19 meditations that allow us to experience aging as a benefit
• many senior-friendly modified yoga postures
• several senior-specific warm-up sequences
• Venus Kriyas and suitable partner yoga exercises

About the autor:
Growing up in a household with seven aunts, the author, Willem Wittstamm, has had a love for “old folks”since his childhood. Their knowledge, wisdom, grace, and the inherent beauty that comes with age has always fascinated him. Therefore, it was a natural progression on his path as a yoga teacher that he began to offer classes for seniors. In addition to his weekly classes in Wendland, Germany, for students between the ages of fifty and ninety, he holds seminars throughout Germany on the topic „How to Teach Yoga to Seniors“. He conducts workshops at international yoga festivals and offers intensive opportunities for aspiring KY50+ teachers to sit in on his weekly classes.
