Yoga Shelter's Eric Paskel to be featured in "The Embrace of Aging" on PBS

Eric Paskel features founder and yoga guru Eric Paskel, as well as scenes filmed here at the Yoga Shelter. As the United States continues to proportionately “get older,” more people are looking for ways to prolong their youth, age with dignity, maintain their health, and overall, embrace aging.

Ten-time Michigan Emmy award-winning director/producer Keith Famie seeks to highlight some of these methods in his documentary series, The Embrace of Aging, beginning with The Male Perspective of Growing Old.

The Male Perspective of Growing Old follows the latest progressive teachings from well- known medical universities while showcasing the advice of health gurus, spiritual leaders, psychologists and men of all walks of life from vastly different environments, all facing the inevitability of growing old.

The series focuses on topics ranging from heart disease and prostate cancer to diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease to arthritis and the importance of exercise. The Male Perspective of Growing Old also follows the personal stories of men at various ages and stages of their lives. The series will start on Sunday, October 6, 6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. and will run until November 24th on WTVS Channel 56, Detroit Public Television.
