Respecting Your Body as You Age

Respecting Your Body as You Age

Growing old with respect for your body by listening to it. That is the subject of this episode where I talk with Fleur Adams, a yoga therapist on how to be more aware and how to get in touch with our bodies, accept our limitations and work with the possibilities that we have.


Figure of today

The turning point in many people’s lives is when they realise that our bodies do not heal as quickly anymore and that some inconveniences are something we have to learn to live with. Fleur tells a little about her realisation that running a marathon approaching 50 years old without any prior experience wasn’t the best idea and that that was her turning point moment.

How is this important?

When you get older you need to be more attentive to your body. Exercise regularly, because in respect of your body you still need to move. But you need to do this with care and acceptance.

What’s Gestalt in all of this?

The similarities between Gestalt Therapy and Yoga Therapy is in discovering where we are right now, how we act, moment by moment. Yoga Therapy is about finding our body’s limitations and using this knowledge to specifically design yoga movements and poses to create a better posture, building up muscles and releasing tension.
