MOUTH AND THROAT TONING FOR BETTER SLEEP

Toning the mouth and throat muscles can dial down the volume of your snoring, thereby improving the quality of your sleep. Recent research indicates that exercising these muscles can even reduce the severity of obstructive sleep apnea. These exercises can be helpful when used alone or in conjunction with CPAP or other interventions. Even if you do not have apnea and are not snoring, these exercises may improve your sleep quality and help subtly sculpt your chin and cheek areas for a better appearance.

THE ALPHABET SOUP OF MEDICARE

Are you confused about Medicare? Most seniors are, so you are not alone. It’s not only about the ABC’s. There’s also D and then there’s Medical Supplement with it’s own host of lettered plans! Have you heard about Medicare Advantage? That’s where A+B+D (sometimes) =C. Yikes! And have you ever wondered how and if Medicare pays for nursing homes or long term care? If you have any of these questions, this course is for YOU. If you’re not yet old enough for Medicare, come to the class so you can be a step ahead of the pack so that you know what to do when the time comes. If you’re already on Medicare, come to better understand the benefits you currently have. 2 sessions at 1.5 hours each. Maddie Sharpe, CFP® Specializing in Senior Health, LTC, Life, and Annuity Protection.

CHAIR YOGA

Instructor: John Giunta, MA/FRC

SENIOR FITNESS AND MORE S.A.I.L. — STAY ACTIVE IN LIFE

Instructor: Teresa Fletcher

Stay Active and Independent for Life (SAIL) is an evidence-based fall prevention program centered around a strength, balance and fitness program for adults 65 and older. The SAIL curriculum includes aerobics, balance exercises, stretching routines and education-the exercises can be done standing or sitting. SAIL classes are proven to improve balance, mobility, strength and flexibility and to reduce known risk factors for falls. Two classes a week are recommended.

The Chair Yoga class will be conducted while sitting in sturdy, armless chairs, with some asanas/postures in the standing position, as your abilities dictate. Complete safety, along with self-knowledge will be the mainstays of this class. Any limitations in your movement will be respected and nurtured. We will study yogic anatomy, breathing, meditation, and the elements of solid and confident balance. We will have the same traditional approach that John Giunta uses in his other classes. John is an Initiate of the Himalayan Institute, founded by Swami Rama, and he has made a pilgrimage to India. His varied background and life experience as a US Army veteran, Interfaith Minister and musician will serve us well across all spiritual and secular Paths. John plays his own live music for the introduction to each meditation. No Class : 1/16, 2/20
