limitations for older members

[Brian]

Since I am one of the older members here in his 50's,I have realized that there are some limitations to being older.Now I am not talking about meditations or warfare,only in Hatha.I started doing the 5 Tibetans,along with my regular Hatha,and I realized that I was dreading having to do them.So anytime you dread something,then it is not enjoyable.So I quit them,but am still doing all my other Hatha poses too.So just a note to other older members here.As one of our members posted already,if it is not enjoyable,then it is hard to dicapline ourselves to do something daily.So just keep that in mind.Programs should not be so grueling,that we are apt to miss them.So put together something that works for you at your age.Remember we can not do what 20 year olds are doing at this point,nor should we.But that is not an excuse to stop all together either.

I find this to be a great opportunity for strengthening present moment focus to guide me on my chosen path to lovingly live my best life ever.

Greetings  I agree with you Brian I used to do it 10 yrs back (am in my mid forties) did it for 6 months then styop it it is really good. Start with only 5 reps of each.I had a book written by a retired British Colonel who was in Tibet ( he was over 70 when he went and said after he came back to UK he felt and looked half his age)He also says something about diet if i remember right he says we should have only one kind of food at a time.E.g. if for breakfast we are having eggs have only eggs no bread,butter etc.Tea if i remember correctly is black no milk.For lunch if chicken have only that no bread or no desserts after the meal.Wish i could remember the name of the book.Loaned it to a friend of mine more than 5 years back.Never got the book back .My friend is now in states

<td val[/IMG]But keep in mind that as our clergy have stated,diet has nothing to do with it.It is important not to eat only junk food,but other then that it doesn't. I was only doing 4 reps for about 2 months,and even that was too much for me,so I am back to my Hatha stretches only right now.In my opinion exercise is important,but stretching the spine is even more important,as the it allows the Kundalini to be free to move.

Remember if you can't do a pose or exercise as it is you can always modify it a bit so it's comfortable. Or do less repetitions. This is pretty much common sense, but many people don't see it and try to do an exercise the exact same way as in the instructions. Yeah, that's what I used to do as well. Not only in yoga, but in power meditations too. For example if a member has ADHD or can't concentrate for 5 mins to do void meditation, just reduce the time and do it for 3 or even 1 minute instead. Again, common sense. Yet I see people who say "i can't do that" and stop completely instead of modifying it a bit to make it comfortable.

<td val[/IMG]Good point! I do modify everything I do to a certain extent.But my whole purpose of the post was that even if you modify,something asanas are still not age appropriate in my opinion.But everyone has to make their own call about it.
