CREATE A LONG, HEALTHY, AND HAPPY LIFE BY NURTURING YOUR BODY, MIND, AND SOUL WITH SECRETS TO LONGEVITY

Living a healthy and happy life into your 70s, 80s, 90s, and beyond isn’t an impossible dream. It happens all around the world and can happen for you too, regardless of your age. Naturally, you don’t want to simply live to be 100! You want to be healthy, happy, riding your bike, gardening, cooking, playing with your grandkids, and actively enjoying every moment of this precious human life.

Most of us don’t start thinking about longevity until we get into our 50s or so, or until we deal with injury or illness. Yoga and Longevity: 8 Secrets for a Long, Healthy, and Happy Life with Beryl Bender is designed for all people of all ages because we all want to live a long healthy life, and it’s never too early to start moving in that direction. In fact, the earlier we start, the easier and more effective these practices are. The well-researched and documented commonalities of the world’s longest lived and happiest people include spending time outdoors in nature, moving naturally, meditating, practicing yoga, connecting with your community, downshifting, finding your dharma, eating well, and much more.

Each section will introduce you to one of eight “secrets” to longevity and includes:

• Fun and lighthearted lectures
• Opportunities for journaling and walking outside
• Meditation techniques
• Yoga postures
• Conscious breathing exercises
• Principles for awakening self-compassion

You have within you the ability to create a healthy, happy, and long life. You can change, through meditation and practice, how you think and how your life unfolds. This course will show you how to slowly and steadily incorporate the elements of longevity into your lifestyle. Once you are awakened by your practices and realize that yoga gives you a choice to be free or to remain in the bondage of ignorance, you’ll see how a yoga lifestyle and the commonalities of longevity combine into a tried-and-true package to add years to your life.
