I absolutely love all of of your armchair exercises, movements and the great outdoor exercises. I discovered you over Covid lockdown time. I'm from UK, living in Nottingham.

I'm 71 years old 🕉 Shanti😍

Hi Magda! I am so glad you are benefiting from the Yoga videos that I share on my channel. I truly believe that Knowledge is Power.... and once you understand what is happening in your body, and why you are feeling discomfort... then you can change your habits for the better. I have lots more of these FREE educational videos here. Enjoy! Love, Sherry watch.yogavista.tv/programs/sherry-zak-morris-good-things-to-know-as-we-age
SHERRY, this is my first time hearing and using your video. It was glorious, had been doing another chair exercise, hers together yours gets my body moving. I am saving this in favorites so I can use it daily. l am 73yrs young still play a slow game of tennis, ride my bike, mini trampoline, walk. Still, l did not know how many muscles l did not use until your video. THANKS!!!!!!
Hi Geraldine! I am giving you a standing ovation! Good work keeping mobile and active!!! I am glad you learned a thing or two from this presentation. Here are more FREE videos of mine you might enjoy (with no ads!). watch.yogavista.tv/programs/free-for-non-subscribers Keep up the Great work!!!! Blessings, Sherry
My sister swears by her yoga class. I don't go out that often, but now that I can watch you online I'm so motivated by your videos and enjoying your classes for seniors that I'm moving around more frequently and loosing up my hip and knee joints. I'm aiming to build up my hip and thigh muscles to the point were I can't give myself a pedicure again. ;)
Rock on Priscilla! I am soooo very proud of you! It just goes to show all of us that with some effort and dedication... we CAN feel better! No matter what age we are! You are a Role Model! YAY for you! Love, Sherry
Hi Joetta! So great you believe Yoga can be of help to you! I can send you a PDF of the handout and you can print it out. Send me an email at info@yogavista.com and I will email you a copy. Many blessings, Sherry
Sherry, this is very beneficial and the right speed for me after watching your video. I definitely have to work on those muscles. Thanks for all the great tips.
Hi Sherry, Thank you for your chair yoga. Always a joy & pleasure to do one of your classes. It makes my heart sing. Feeling really uplifted after the class. I am teaching a chair yoga in my yoga retreat next week. I will be using a lot of your moves. So functional & doable. Much blessings. Love & gratitude in my pocket this morning before I start my day. 🥰
I have been following you and found this vedio.i love the way you end it with a song. I can feel your postive energy. You are a happy soul.you made my day.
Thanks! I have lots more at YogaVista.TV. The more you learn, the more you know and then it makes more sense on why movement is so important to aging well! Many blessings to you! Sherry
Thanks Sherry, once again for sharing this information. I have taken a lot of online courses on your site and with each I learn so much more. At present I teach almost 5-6 hours a week Chair and Dance Yoga at various senior centers and YMCA (all Karma Yoga as a volunteer) and other Active Living Centers and Long Term Care. With each class, I come back energized to do more. and a lot of what I teach I have learned from you and your team. Thanks and God Bless. Namaste from Canada.
I am glad you enjoyed my presentation and I hope you felt encouraged to keep up a regular Yoga practice. It will pay big dividends throughout your life! Join me for lots of Yoga at https:YogaVista.TV Many blessings to you! Sherry
I'm so glad that I found your videos on youtube. Love all your classes, love your explanation about what change with our body when we're aging. I shared your chair yoga classes with my 63 y.o student even the dance part 😊. Keep sharing sherry, love you ❤
I am so glad you gained some useful information to share. And how cool you shared the Dance too! I have lots more Chair Yoga Dances on my UA-cam channel! Blessings to you! Sherry
Estou encantada com seus vídeos e grata por ter encontrado seu canal... eles têm me ajudado bastante em um trabalho voluntário de yoga que estou fazendo com a terceira idade. Obrigada
Thank you Sherry. I love your classes and have taken inspiration from your classes and woven them into the chair classes I teach. Much gratitude to you:)
Hi Aliya! So glad you learned something new about your posture. With scoliosis, work on lengthening your spine as often as you can. Do gentle side bends and gentle twists to get mobility in your spine while doing deep breaths. Do these every day for the rest of your life. Think of these stretches as daily vitamins for your body. Blessings to you! Sherry ❤️
This is an amazing video! It explained SO much for me and helped me to understand what is going on with my left hip 'quadrant' that makes exercise walking so difficult and painful. I am so so so thankful that I caught sight of this on the side menu bar and so grateful that you are teaching this chair yoga stuff. Thank you and may your day be filled with manifold blessings.
Hi Donna! I am so glad you had an ah-ha moment. That is so important for our own self-empowerment! So happy you find this in your side bar! I have lots more Yoga classes and workshops like these FREE in my YogaVista.TV video library. Come check them out! Blessings to you! Sherry
Debby Wright hi Debby! So nice to hear from you! I have tons more of these types of real world classes on yogajptv.com. If you want this handout, I need your email... so send me an email at sherry@yogajp.com. Blessings to you! Sherry
ps, I have no problem with you sales of videos, you still give a ton of wonderful help for free, so that balances out. I love the vids, forgot I also need to be mindful and re-learn how to breathe correctly again. Wow, yoga and meditation. More gratitude. :-))
So happy your years of Yoga have helped you with Covid recovery!!!! Thank you for sharing your video on this experience. The advice you have given me for recovering from my broken arm has been so helpful! For a couple of years I've been doing chair yoga. I am now working on your bone videos, and using standing videos. Yaaay. I wonder if you have any videos for weight loss? I would so appreciate that.
Hi Nancy! I am SOOO happy that your broken arm is healing well. Movement is key to healing because it brings in life force and oxygen! Glad to hear that you are doing the Strong Bones videos. As for Weight Loss... ALL Yoga helps with weight loss because it works on balancing your nervous system. It is NOT about burning calories, it is about getting your metabolism in the right place. A yo-yo diet is the worst for one's metabolism, so don't go for quick weight loss approaches. Slow and steady is the only approach that works over the long term. Make Yoga a daily practice and I know you will see your weight change! Keep me posted! Love, Sherry
Love your full circle story! I love my teacher now. For the first time that I actually took and continued with a yoga class was with my teacher Inez. I started with her two years ago when I turned 57. I was desperate and knew that I had to change. I am now in better shape than i was 5 years ago! I hope I can do something for my teacher who has also helped me with being mindful. I have been asked for more and more chair yoga from those who are friends who cannot bend or have problems with their knees... but I'm not a yoga teacher! There is a demand for what you teach. I am thinking that it might be a worth while thing to become a teacher for seniors as I am heading in that direction and I do care how people feel about themselves.
Congrats to you Sandra for making those changes in your life! Yoga is not a quick fix.. but rather a lifestyle and choices that come with it. I think when people realize they CAN feel better and improve the way they walk, bend and move... a whole new world of opportunities and possibilities arise. No matter what age, we can all seek to feel better in our bodies! Chair Yoga is for anyone and everyone.. that's why I try to make it simple, fun and empowering! Hope you check out my full Chair Yoga videos on www.YogaJPTV.com Love and Blessings to you! Sherry

Hi Lisa! Nice to hear from you! I have an Online Chair Yoga Teacher Training and Certification Course. Here is the link for more info! www.yogavistaacademy.com/product/online-chair-certification-program/
Hi Sherry, I had found a nice video of yoga for older people. I watched it, thought great, I am in trouble. Then I started to watch it and it turned out they are selling their lessons. To me, that was heartbreaking. I know everyone needs to make a living, but it was a setup. OK. I am a 64 year old man who used to be a drummer for many famous bands all 70's and 80's. Drumming is incredible for cardio, studies show that long time drummers live years longer than most musicians due to the cardio that we aren't' thinking about at 19 years old. So that's good, but drumming is sitting, a lot, and the movements are very unnatural. After 40 odd years of doing this, I was hit by a drunk driver, and almost lost my left leg. Back was smashed. Huge surgery, years of relearning to walk, and everything in body out of line. Then as my muscles atrophied, I saw my stomach one day, look like I'm pregnant. Yikes what is that? So I find out that ten years of no exercise, now I have DIASTASIS RECTI. I had never heard of it. My wife didn't end up with it, so how would I know, it's only for women right? wrong. Thank the universe for youtube, found hundreds of videos teaching pretty much the same set of exercises over and over. Yes some are selling it but I cannot afford that, I"m living on small disability. So for three months I've been doing pelvic thrusts which is not really natural to men, women raise pelvis, men thrust. And we only work on dumb "six pack". With DR, you must do exercise that doesn't engage your six pack, need to work transverse abdominas, and I have a very weak pelvic floor, that's why my stomach distended. So I found help with that and realized if I don't get help, I'm going to have everything you just showed. I have horrible posture, knees have started to hurt, and I doubt I could hula hoop and cannot fold my legs and sit anymore. But I"m not ready to give up yet. I still feel young at heart. Just have a ton of work to do..so after I saw sales pitch, I saw the your video on the right side and took a chance. THANK YOU . DO NOT EVER THINK THAT MEN DON'T NEED THE EXACT LESSONS YOU ARE TEACHING WOMEN. I know how to lift weights and make my biceps bigger etc. But I'm not nearly ready for weight lifting. I need balance. I need strong knees. And I NEED A HEALED STRONG PELVIC FLOOR. So today and right now you are my HERO. Thank you, I am a 6'3 man who is in such awful shape that a 10 year old girl could beat me up. I used to be a muscular drummer who stretched all the time. I am going to do all the videos you have up. THANK YOU FROM DEEP IN MY HEART FOR PUTTING THEM UP NOT SELLING THEM. YOU ARE AN ANGEL ON MY SHOULDER. I am going to sleep and when I get up I will take my old yoga mat that hasn't been touched in 30 years, but it's in fine shape, and get a chair, and start doing everything you teach these lovely women. Thank you for your kindness and compassion. I'm an old rocker, I even have most of my hair and it;s still long, who played on lots of hit records. I don't want to be my grandfather. Not ready for 'old' yet. I eat very nutritionally sound. But now I must do gentle exercise yoga and realign my posture, regain balance and strength in my facia, my pelvic floor, my knees and neck and legs, arms, strengthen all muscles that support my stomach and back, I don't want to wear a diaper. I do keegles now with DR pelvic work. and everything you are teaching. Sorry for long post wanted you to know I have met two other men online who have DR and most men have no idea what it is. When I get better I will make a video of it and you are welcome to use it. The info is out there for women not for men. Plus men need everything you are teaching unless they have been blessed with astonishing genetics or they just stayed in good shape. But there are many thousands of men like me who for a variety of reasons find themselves nearly crippled by all the injuries you address, and so please know that men need gentle also. I am not a tough guy anymore. I would like do regain my physical mobility, and be able to have flexible joints and not always in pain. I believe you are an angel on my shoulder and will let you know ever few weeks how I progress. I will also show two friends of mine your site, and I'm sure they will love it and start what I will be doing later today. I'm subscribing, and glad I waded through so many videos to find such a caring teacher. Thank you so much Sherry. Good on you. Namaste..M.P.
Hi Rockstar! I'm 63 and I bet I saw you a few times or more at all those concerts I went to in the 70s and 80s! Thanks for sharing your story with me. I looked up your condition and understand the issues. Never give up the hope that our bodies naturally want to heal. Think of a cut or bruise... they eventually heal. Granted some things will never be 100%... but there is ALWAYS room to move in the direction of positive change! And you are doing just that! It's starts with awareness and then action. And that action can just be doing some stretches every day... some standing balances... some knee strengthening holds ...and I hope you're doing some of my dances for cardio! I have some songs from the 60s and 70s... and a polka too! View this Gentle Yoga workout as time to play, have fun and feel good. The body is meant to move and twist and bend. Don't rush it...your body will tell you how far to go. Be patient and kind with yourself. And most importantly... please know that your spirt is incredibly strong. Not many people can be so honest and forthright in sharing like you did. You are a role model and I can't wait to stay in touch and see how you progress. I know you'll be feeling better every day. So... just a comment about giving out info free or charging for it. It's a tough one, so please don't judge those who do charge for their services and expertise. They need to make a living just like everyone else. After 25 years working in high tech, I left to pursue my yoga teaching passion. You can imagine the pay cut I took. But the rewards of this vocation are 100-fold. But I do have a mortgage, camera equipment and editing software expenses ... and tons of continuing education I invest in that are ongoing. And Btw, Yoga teachers don't make a lot of money. For many years, I gave all my work for free on UA-cam. Now, most of my new work is offered on my paid video library website - www.yogajp.tv ... but I continue to put new things on UA-cam as well. I understand the tight finances of retirees. And I hope people can see and understand the perspective of content creators like me. We too have our financial issues. If what we offer is valuable, then a like-kind exchange is appreciated. Thanks for reaching out. Many blessings to you Rockstar! Love, sherry❤️
@@SherryZM Sherry thank you for caring words. I do understand, it's a sticky wicket. When you are just able to keep a roof over your head, it's easy to think everything online should be "free domaine" but I do get it, I don't play for free except for charities. And if I can raise the funds I would buy you vids as I really like your approach to everything. Umm, no I cannot dance yet. I have to build up to it. That's how smashed up my body got and this is my first real attempt at regaining the physical strengthening and lengthening yoga and breathing and stretching will hopefully afford me..your encouragement is so appreciated. And I'm laughing, please, Michael, not rockstar..us drummers don't think like that, those are always singers and guitarists I promise (laughing very hard)...I don't know how to put a heart emoji like you did or I would . I will let you know and check in periodically, again, thanks for such gentle caring videos..Michael

Hi Sherry, I had found a nice video of yoga for older people. I watched it, thought great, I am in trouble. Then I started to watch it and it turned out they are selling their lessons. To me, that was heartbreaking. I know everyone needs to make a living, but it was a setup. OK. I am a 64 year old man who used to be a drummer for many famous bands all 70's and 80's. Drumming is incredible for cardio, studies show that long time drummers live years longer than most musicians due to the cardio that we aren't' thinking about at 19 years old. So that's good, but drumming is sitting, a lot, and the movements are very unnatural. After 40 odd years of doing this, I was hit by a drunk driver, and almost lost my left leg. Back was smashed. Huge surgery, years of relearning to walk, and everything in body out of line. Then as my muscles atrophied, I saw my stomach one day, look like I'm pregnant. Yikes what is that? So I find out that ten years of no exercise, now I have DIASTASIS RECTI. I had never heard of it. My wife didn't end up with it, so how would I know, it's only for women right? wrong. Thank the universe for youtube, found hundreds of videos teaching pretty much the same set of exercises over and over. Yes some are selling it but I cannot afford that, I"m living on small disability. So for three months I've been doing pelvic thrusts which is not really natural to men, women raise pelvis, men thrust. And we only work on dumb "six pack". With DR, you must do exercise that doesn't engage your six pack, need to work transverse abdominas, and I have a very weak pelvic floor, that's why my stomach distended. So I found help with that and realized if I don't get help, I'm going to have everything you just showed. I have horrible posture, knees have started to hurt, and I doubt I could hula hoop and cannot fold my legs and sit anymore. But I"m not ready to give up yet. I still feel young at heart. Just have a ton of work to do..so after I saw sales pitch, I saw the your video on the right side and took a chance. THANK YOU . DO NOT EVER THINK THAT MEN DON'T NEED THE EXACT LESSONS YOU ARE TEACHING WOMEN. I know how to lift weights and make my biceps bigger etc. But I'm not nearly ready for weight lifting. I need balance. I need strong knees. And I NEED A HEALED STRONG PELVIC FLOOR. So today and right now you are my HERO. Thank you, I am a 6'3 man who is in such awful shape that a 10 year old girl could beat me up. I used to be a muscular drummer who stretched all the time. I am going to do all the videos you have up. THANK YOU FROM DEEP IN MY HEART FOR PUTTING THEM UP NOT SELLING THEM. YOU ARE AN ANGEL ON MY SHOULDER. I am going to sleep and when I get up I will take my old yoga mat that hasn't been touched in 30 years, but it's in fine shape, and get a chair, and start doing everything you teach these lovely women. Thank you for your kindness and compassion. I'm an old rocker, I even have most of my hair and it;s still long, who played on lots of hit records. I don't want to be my grandfather. Not ready for 'old' yet. I eat very nutritionally sound. But now I must do gentle exercise yoga and realign my posture, regain balance and strength in my facia, my pelvic floor, my knees and neck and legs, arms, strengthen all muscles that support my stomach and back, I don't want to wear a diaper. I do keegles now with DR pelvic work. and everything you are teaching. Sorry for long post wanted you to know I have met two other men online who have DR and most men have no idea what it is. When I get better I will make a video of it and you are welcome to use it. The info is out there for women not for men. Plus men need everything you are teaching unless they have been blessed with astonishing genetics or they just stayed in good shape. But there are many thousands of men like me who for a variety of reasons find themselves nearly crippled by all the injuries you address, and so please know that men need gentle also. I am not a tough guy anymore. I would like do regain my physical mobility, and be able to have flexible joints and not always in pain. I believe you are an angel on my shoulder and will let you know ever few weeks how I progress. I will also show two friends of mine your site, and I'm sure they will love it and start what I will be doing later today. I'm subscribing, and glad I waded through so many videos to find such a caring teacher. Thank you so much Sherry. Good on you. Namaste..M.P.
Hi Rockstar! I'm 63 and I bet I saw you a few times or more at all those concerts I went to in the 70s and 80s! Thanks for sharing your story with me. I looked up your condition and understand the issues. Never give up the hope that our bodies naturally want to heal. Think of a cut or bruise... they eventually heal. Granted some things will never be 100%... but there is ALWAYS room to move in the direction of positive change! And you are doing just that! It's starts with awareness and then action. And that action can just be doing some stretches every day... some standing balances... some knee strengthening holds ...and I hope you're doing some of my dances for cardio! I have some songs from the 60s and 70s... and a polka too! View this Gentle Yoga workout as time to play, have fun and feel good. The body is meant to move and twist and bend. Don't rush it...your body will tell you how far to go. Be patient and kind with yourself. And most importantly... please know that your spirt is incredibly strong. Not many people can be so honest and forthright in sharing like you did. You are a role model and I can't wait to stay in touch and see how you progress. I know you'll be feeling better every day.
So... just a comment about giving out info free or charging for it. It's a tough one, so please don't judge those who do charge for their services and expertise. They need to make a living just like everyone else. After 25 years working in high tech, I left to pursue my yoga teaching passion. You can imagine the pay cut I took. But the rewards of this vocation are 100-fold. But I do have a mortgage, camera equipment and editing software expenses ... and tons of continuing education I invest in that are ongoing. And Btw, Yoga teachers don't make a lot of money. For many years, I gave all my work for free on UA-cam. Now, most of my new work is offered on my paid video library website - www.yogajp.tv ... but I continue to put new things on UA-cam as well. I understand the tight finances of retirees. And I hope people can see and understand the perspective of content creators like me. We too have our financial issues. If what we offer is valuable, then a like-kind exchange is appreciated. Thanks for reaching out. Many blessings to you Rockstar! Love, sherry❤️
@@SherryZM Sherry thank you for caring words. I do understand, it's a sticky wicket. When you are just able to keep a roof over your head, it's easy to think everything online should be "free domaine" but I do get it, I don't play for free except for charities. And if I can raise the funds I would buy you vids as I really like your approach to everything. Umm, no I cannot dance yet. I have to build up to it. That's how smashed up my body got and this is my first real attempt at regaining the physical strengthening and lengthening yoga and breathing and stretching will hopefully afford me..your encouragement is so appreciated. And I'm laughing, please, Michael, not rockstar..us drummers don't think like that, those are always singers and guitarists I promise (laughing very hard)...I don't know how to put a heart emoji like you did or I would . I will let you know and check in periodically, again, thanks for such gentle caring videos..Michael
mppaiges ok.. no dancing just yet. But lots of laughing! I’m so excited for your healing journey! Keep in touch🙏 love, Sherry

Hi Rubina! Glad to hear that you want to improve your balance. It is important to keep our strength and sturdiness in our structure to keep our balance. Give this video a try to see what I mean about creating strength. You might not be able to do the entire thing.. but aim for this type of exercise.
