Lara Pose Keeping our bodies youthful, our minds pliable and our hearts full is the beauty secret of aging gracefully. As a teacher, learning the issues of aging and their effects on the body as well as preventative care will allow us to guide our students through the elder stages of their lives gracefully (as well as our own).
