SUMMARY:Falling more safely? Yes! Here's how! Free Zoom workshop
DESCRIPTION:Fall prevention is so important — but sometimes we do fall. When that happens\, people will fall resilience skills (like martial artists\, parachute jumpers\, skateboarders\, etc.) are more likely to emerge with fewer injuries\, or even catch themselves as they stumble and prevent the fall. \nLet’s learn some of these skills\, at whatever level is comfortable for each of us! \nNO need to fall on the floor in this workshop — you can gently crumple into a seated position on your chair\, or you might set up your phone/computer screen near a bed or sofa for careful practice if that works for you! \nWe’ll practice catching ourselves as we stumble\, and falling more gently by crumpling\, tucking and rolling into the fall (even practicing in a chair can build important reflexes that can help us in case of a fall!). \nNotes: \n\n\nOf course there is no way to prevent all injuries\, but these techniques can contribute to reducing our risk of serious injuries like concussion and broken bones. \n\n\nThese are not ideas that we learn once and “remember\,” but skills that we can intentionally practice to create helpful reflexes in the case of an unexpected fall. \n\n\nIf you have osteoporosis or orthopedic limitations\, you’ll stick to slow\, very low-impact demonstrations\, but these can still be helpful! \n\n\nLet me know if you have any questions! I’m a personal trainer and Functional Aging Specialist\, and along with several colleagues\, I’m excited to bring these cutting-edge skills to FFF>50 and the world! \nI’ve led this workshop in person numerous times at my county rec center\, a yoga studio and a Power Over Parkinson’s group\, and it has been very well-received. This is my first time on Zoom\, so we will see how it goes! Looking forward to sharing this with you! \nSign up on Meetup here or email me to join\, hope to see you! Will be recorded — just email me for the replay!

SUMMARY:Laughter Yoga on Zoom: Join\, Laugh\, Connect!
DESCRIPTION:Don’t feel like laughing? I get it! But “laughing on purpose” with a friendly\, supportive group on Zoom can help us feel better fast! \nHere’s what some of the June participants said: ? \nI feel like I’m rising with bubbles\, like in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! \nI feel less stiff and more flexible. \nI went from a 5 to an 8 out of 10! \nI’m more energized\, with a good attitude! ? \nJoin me and a bunch of wonderful women from the nationwide group Finding Female Friends >50 for a rejuvenating “mini-spa” experience and a break from everyday life. Family members and other women younger than 50 are also welcome in this session. \nHow to join: \n\nContact me for the Zoom link\nor join our wonderful\, free nationwide network of women 50+ here (and when you do\, look for your local group too for great in-person events!)\n\nLaughter Yoga has no yoga poses and no jokes. Instead\, we do simple activities\, with a bit of gentle movement and deep breathing\, to get ourselves “laughing for no reason.” We get loose and even a little silly\, but always at your own comfort level (camera off is fine if you choose!). \nFind out more about the practice at www.laughteryoga.org\, and more about me at www.fierceafter45.com. \nI’m a certified Laughter Yoga leader as well as a health coach\, and I love this practice because it’s a super-simple and fun way to empower ourselves and boost our resilience. \nI hope to see you! \n
