If you're in the city, come and take my new class on Tuesdays from 6 to 6:45pm: "Age-Defying Therapeutic Stretches."

You don't have to be over 60 to be a senior - all you need are stiff muscles, limited range of movements, and muscular pain - then you're qualified to take this class which will surprise you with its simple effectiveness.

This lovely music is by Scott Killian, and it will allow you to escape the cares of daily life.

In this clip, we are doing what I call "the bow & arrow" and head circles. It works from the spine, improving your épaulement (shouldering) if you study ballet, opens your chest, and teaches opposition (balancing by working with equal weight and energy in opposite directions).

You protect your knees and strengthen your quads when you extend your foot off the floor.
Since you must maintain correct posture through the "bow & arrow" you will strengthen your core while you learn to coordinate the movements of your limbs in time with the music.

After doing this, we sit calmly and do head circles which relaxes the neck and shoulder muscles.

In each class there are a 4 standing exercises followed by 3 exercises seated, 1 leaning over a bench to stretch your hamstrings and back, and concludes with 2 standing exercises.

Arleen Lebe writes: “EVERY Body can benefit from Finis Jhung’s Age Defying Therapeutic Stretches. In this 45 minute class, Finis offers a path to a lifetime of flexibility — fluidity of movement and an agile mind too. This artfully designed series of deceptively simple stretches literally works the musculature of the entire body from head to toe — while requiring a focused mind attentive to the details of each movement. The class is rooted in the dancer’s warmup Finis developed during more than six decades as dancer and teacher. I consider it a gift that will never grow old.“

If you can't make it to the NY class, join us at home with my streaming compilation available from my website: AGE-DEFYING THERAPEUTIC STRETCHES FOR OLDER ADULTS. This video is based on exercises from THE TEN-MINUTE STRETCH BREAK and BALLET PLUS.
