Aging Stronger (Online Seminar)<\/strong><\/span>
presented by Autumn Needles
Monday, March 8, 2021<\/p>\n

Body systems suffer normal wear and tear as we age but some of what we think as the inevitable results of aging are actually the price we pay for not moving enough. What if we could notably decrease the risk of falling but also decrease the risk of breaking a hip if we do fall? What if we had a free method of improving our mental health and acuity as we age? What if we could have the satisfaction of a strong grip, good for handshakes and opening peanut butter jars and, it turns out, a great predictor of quality of life in aging? Movement accomplishes all of those things! It\u2019s not hard and we all come equipped with everything we need: a body and gravity. Let\u2019s explore the myths and the realities of aging together while putting together a tool box of ideas and exercises that will allow us to age stronger.<\/p>\n

Autumn Needles<\/strong>, PMA-CPT began dancing and practicing yoga as a child. She first encountered Pilates as a young dancer at Smith College, but didn\u2019t begin her teaching career until almost 20 years later in 2006. She taught yoga, mat Pilates and aqua-fit, then got her comprehensive Pilates certification and in early 2012 joined the teaching team at Vitality Pilates. Autumn particularly loves working with people who come to Pilates due to struggles with injuries or chronic and limiting health conditions, with the hope of finding functional strength, balance, and health in their everyday lives, as they age. With that goal, she completed a two-year training with “Nutritious Movement” to teach Restorative Exercise based on alignment principles, in 2016 and in 2018 she became a \u201cBuff Bones\u201d licensed instructor. \u201cBuff Bones\u201d is a research-based practice designed to develop bone health and strength in those at risk for, or diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia. When she\u2019s not teaching Pilates, Autumn can be found with her nose in a book taking a walk, or up in the air on a a trapeze.<\/p>\n
