My company, Sassy Senior Yoginis works with seniors and no matter what type of class I am teaching, Gentle Chair Yoga, Cardio, or Endurance, I always end with them offering each other a shoulder & neck massage. I turn down the lights to set the mood, offer an intention of healing and we begin. You can hear the Ahhs timbering through the space; shoulders falling down; wrinkles disappearing from the brows and peace settle-ling in. Since most of my clients are living alone, touch is something they don't get much of. In the beginning you could see how nervous they were to touch someone, but after their first class with massage, they got over it. Now, you can't get them to get up out of their chairs. That's a good thing. Namaste, Speaking of Touch!
