Vista, California - November 5, 2009

Yoga keeps Seniors mobile, both physically and in their cars. Mobility means freedom and independence, and for many seniors, this is the key to a positive outlook on life. Driving requires physical mobility to turn one's body in twisting directions and quick reflexes to make sudden decisions, both skill sets being promoted by a daily yoga practice. Turning to the expertise of YogaJP's Gentle and Senior Yoga instructors, KeepDriving.com has selected a series of Gentle Chair Yoga stretches that seniors can do right at their computers - every day, free of charge.

"Our series of gentle and senior yoga videos have brought mobility, confidence and flexibility to tens of thousands of seniors and people with physical challenges across the world from the U.S, to Europe, Asia and Australia. What seniors all have in common throughout the world is a desire to be healthy, active and mobile," said Sherry Zak Morris, CEO of Yoga Journey Productions. "Yoga is a proven mind-body exercise program that encourages physical movement of the muscles and joints so important to driving, and deep breathing and meditation to increase mental clarity and focus. We are honored that KeepDriving.com selected our Gentle Chair Yoga series to support their website's mission to Keep Seniors Driving," concluded Zak Morris.

"When someone loses their driver's licenses permanently it impacts many people around them. If it is a parent for example, the question arises who will take them to their doctor's appointments? How will they get to the grocery store, barber shop and pharmacy? Will they have someone available when they need them to drive them? Losing one's driver's licenses permanently is a life altering experience", states Orley Paxton, Founder of KeepDriving.com. "When people lose the ability to drive, it often leads to anger and depression. It is an event that can and should be postponed as long a safely possible by challenging oneself physically and mentally with the yoga, exercise and cognitive training. We selected Yoga Journey Productions' Gentle Yoga videos taught by Octogenarian Mary Cavanaugh as an inspiration and guide to all seniors who want to keep their mobility and physical skills sharp. These yoga videos are free to the public on the KeepDriving.com website, with the option to subscribe to our cognitive training program", concluded Paxton.
