Yoga for Seniors: Thoracic Park
This is a short series designed to open up your neck, shoulders and thoracic spine (the middle of the back between your shoulder blades). It’s great for office workers and a fantastic class to do regularly if you want to avoid common issues from desk work and aging, such as carpal tunnel, arthritis and neck pain.

Perfect not just for seniors but office workers as well.
I am not a senior, but I am an asthmatic, and found this really helpful for opening up my lungs. I made sure to go with the pace of my own breath, which is not as fast as Michelle goes in the video (otherwise would trigger a coughing fit). Following this up with some Alexander Technique to keep accessing my breath!
Question: Just because I am over sixty, why do you say don't put my head back?
I have one replaced vertebrae, and a total of eight fused, thoracic, so the title of this class really caught my eye. Unfortunately, this class was too fast for me, which is not a criticism of the class...as I am 67, don't exercise regularly, and have the special circumstances of the spinal fusion. I may return to this class after I build my endurance a bit.
