Healthy Aging

Qigong: Chinese Yoga with David Wei (Virtual)

by

Bend, stretch, and smile with renowned martial arts instructor, David Wei. The Chinese have an idiom, “Good circulation – good health.” From this view, stasis is the root cause of all degenerative conditions, making movement the primary means of preventative health care. Daoists have maintained countless methods of movement aimed to improve health by simply improving circulation. Participants will learn to assess their own vascular health along with various methods for improving overall circulatory function. No experience is necessary. All are welcome.

SF Senior Beat Conversations: Joke-a-Thon (Virtual)

by

“Knock, knock! ”
“Who’s there?”
“Senior”
“Senior Who?”
Hopin’ we’ll be seein’ ya at our Nov. 25 joke-a-thon!
Bring your jokes and humorous stories to share at the monthly SF Senior Beat Conversations. Studies show laughter reduces the stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline and increases the body’s intake of feel-good endorphins. It improves short-term memory and helps people be more resilient. Hard to beat that. In a recent “New York Times” article, Dr. Michael Miller, a cardiologist at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore said, “Humor is not just a distraction from the grim reality of the crisis. It’s a winning strategy to stay healthy in the face of it.” Emcee: Dany Vallerand. I’m Dany, 73, but don’t rate myself as elderly. In fact, on Valentine’s Day, I asked God for a gorgeous, young affectionate, soulful, playful guy I could fall in love with: Theo is all of that and more — my three-year old Poodle Shih Tzu puppy!
