Can I do this if I am over 60?
Question from search
Yes, and age on its own is not a barrier here. Gravity Stretching is built to be gentle: you hang in soft lianas and let your own body weight do the work, while a trainer guides the whole class and adjusts the pace to each person in the room. There are 7 levels of practice, and 5 of them are accessible to anyone regardless of age or condition, so someone starting at 60 or beyond simply begins at a level that feels comfortable, not at the deep end.
The reason it works gently is the same reason it works at all: gravity presses down on the body all day, and hanging in the lianas gently stretches you instead, taking pressure off and letting space come back into the joints and spine. Everything starts small, sometimes just a few seconds of hanging at first, and the body asks for more only once it feels safe. The three principles are the same for every student: relax, breathe, and never push through discomfort - if something feels off, you stop and soften.
Most people feel a bit lighter after the very first class, tightness tends to ease around class 4 to 6, and a stable, settled feeling usually takes about 10 classes with steady practice once or twice a week. If you have a specific health situation you are unsure about, a private 1-on-1 session lets the trainer choose only what fits your body.
