Falls need not be a natural part of aging. There are ways to prevent them.
According to the NHS, around a third of people aged 65 and over, and half of people aged 80 and over, fall at least once a year. Even without injury, a fall can cause distress, loss of confidence, and loss of independence. However, a third of those falls are preventable. So, don’t wait for a fall to happen, the secret to successful fall prevention is action.
Standing Strong is a fall prevention workshop that aims at debunking myths about falls and most importantly provide a wide range of tools that will help prevent them; including staying safe at home and outside and most importantly yoga-inspired exercises and practices that help improve balance, strength, and coordination.
This fall prevention workshop will weave discussion with yoga practice with the objective to give you clear guidance on what you can do in your everyday life to prevent falls.
