With the onset of flu season in full swing, the need to take
preventative measures becomes more pressing.
And for those looking for an alternative to the standard flu shot,
there’s no need to look any further than your local yoga or wellness center.
“Yoga is much more than stretching” says Kate Kusterbeck, of the
EarthMind Wellness Center at Honor’s Haven Resort. “It combines techniques for breathing and
healthy living with meditation and physical postures; reducing your chances of
contracting an infectious aliment.”
In addition to supporting your immune system, yoga offers a wide range
of benefits for every member of the family; keeping them healthy and happy!
Younger Family Members
For younger family members, yoga plays a vital role in not only
enhancing coordination, strength and flexibility but in improving concentration
and self-esteem which can help to promote calmness and cooperation.
Prime of Life Adults
Yoga provides prime of life adults with a full body and system work out
(cardiovascular, skeletal, muscular and endocrine), resulting in more energy,
better sleep, stress relief, muscle tone and mental sharpness.
Older Adults
For older adults who are experiencing reduced balance, strength and
range of motion, yoga can be essential in providing relief and enhancing your
quality of life. In addition, according

shown to reverse memory loss and create a healthy anti-aging effect on the
brain.
