According to a recent Yoga Alliance and Yoga Journal report on Yoga in America, 38% of people practicing yoga (or starting their practice!), are 55 and older. The number of Americans practicing yoga has nearly doubled in the last four years. The senior population in America is expected to rise to over 80 million souls by 2050. If you are a yoga teacher, teaching adult classes, you will be asked to meet the particular needs of this enthusiastic population of students, but you may find yourself unsure about just what to teach.

Hello! A new collaboration is getting underway. Oryx Worx is working with the Maine AgrAbility/FishAbility project through the UMaine Cooperative Extension, and with Maine Coast Fishermen’s Association to develop movement and conditioning ideas to support folks who harvest, grow, process, truck, sell seafood. February 2022 is the first month of this ongoing project. We look forward to hearing from folks also serving this population. Questions about the FishAbility project and the MCFA’s Wellness for Fishermen project are welcome as well as stretching and conditioning questions.
Here’s the link to the first blog post:

My weekly studio yoga classes have successfully migrated into the Zoom platform. Zumba Gold didn’t fare as well.

In the last few months I've fielded the following questions.
What kind of Yoga is this? Actually, there was an anecdote to this question. The student had recently been traveling and was asked by friends, when she told them she was going to yoga classes, what kind of yoga she was practicing. Her response was: "Yes!"
