Lilo Petermann’s dedication to her students has contributed substantially to the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being of the many seniors who have taken her classes. For the past 25 years Lilo has been teaching the “Yoga over 50” class twice weekly, at the West End Community Centre. She does this on a voluntary basis, in order to keep the classes affordable for her students. Her classes are fun and designed for the needs of seniors, giving particular attention to maintaining flexibility and balance while also dealing with specific mobility and joint problems. At 90 years young, Lilo’s personal vitality is a testament to the contribution to overall health and well-being made by exercise, diet, a balanced lifestyle and a positive outlook.
