Hi friends, Dr. Larry Payne here with another “Positive Senior Moment.”

In today’s video, we’ll practice a gentle seated twist you can do while holding the back of your chair. As you slowly turn and breathe, you’ll stretch your back, chest, and neck, helping to release tension and improve flexibility. It’s simple, relaxing, and feels wonderful.

Give it a try next time you’re sitting down. Your spine will thank you!
If you’ve been enjoying these “Positive Senior Moments,” I’d love to work with you in a one-on-one or group yoga session. You can find more details here: https://www.samata.com/private-yoga-therapy

Hi friends, Dr. Larry Payne here with another “Positive Senior Moment.”
Today’s exercise is a simple side-to-side stretch you can do right from your chair. By gently moving your arms across your body, you’ll stretch your back, chest, and neck and help open things up. It feels great and helps release tightness that builds up from sitting too long.
Take a minute to try it and notice how much lighter and looser you feel afterward.

Hi friends, Dr. Larry Payne here with another “Positive Senior Moment.”

If you tend to sit a little too far forward (like so many of us do), this simple seated stretch can work wonders for your back, chest, and neck. It helps open your posture, release tension, and bring a little more ease to your day.

Give it a try the next time you’re sitting down. It only takes a minute!

Over the years, one of my favorite discoveries has been the healing power of laughter.

In Prime of Life Yoga®: Level IV, we’ll explore Laughter Yoga, alongside Yin Yoga, Ayurveda for Aging, trauma-informed practices, and more.

It’s serious work, but we’ll also have some fun along the way. After all, yoga is about balance; between effort and ease, strength and softness… and yes, sometimes even tears and laughter.
