To live active and fulfilling lives well into our 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and beyond, yoga provides that beautiful combination of healthy body, mind and spirit. Making it part of our regular routine, not as a luxury for the odd holiday or spa day but a regular commitment to ourselves is just like paying money into a pension! And the beauty of it is, we can start at any age. Sarah says:
I came to yoga teaching in my 60’s after loving yoga for years, because I know just how much our bodies change over the decades. and what we want from yoga evolves.
In my 20’s I wanted dynamic exercise as I found my place in the world. My 30’s and 40’s brought a need to stretch, let go and find time for myself in family life. Menopause dominated my 50’s, as my body craved nourishment, gentleness, and I struggled with physical changes whilst running a business, caring for growing children and aging parents.
In my 60’s I‘ve reclaimed time for me with a renewed playful creative spirit. I’ve come back to dynamic flow yoga, aware of what my body needs more than ever (the creaks and aches come and go!) and I give more time and patience to listening to my body. I often opt for less rush, choosing slower supported Yin practices, relaxing restorative yoga, gentle breathwork and meditation .
At Indigo Yoga, I want everyone to leave our classes feeling replenished, restored and reset.
Sarah is also an Executive Coach who has worked with clients ranging from Shelter to Barclays, Pret a Manger to ITV. You can find out more about Indigo Leadership at our sister site here . Coaching and yoga are a wonderful marriage.
