Senior Yoga, for the Golden Years

"The best age is the age you are." - Maggie Kuhn

The problems facing today's seniors are not much different than aging in the past. Nature's life cycle's do not change, but mental attitudes can. A regular yoga practice will add more energy, vitality, and compassion to your life and your beloveds.

Without a doubt, yoga is one of the best habits a mature man or woman can acquire for graceful aging. Yoga enhances flexibility, balance and strengthens muscles. The mindful breath and the relaxation techniques will help lower high blood pressure, expand lung capacity and aide in disruptive sleep patterns.  Besides, yoga will make you happy! These postures are only a starting place for a practice to refresh your body and your mind. You're as young as you feel!

Seniors who practice yoga are often in much better shape than sedentary people who are decades younger. Just because someone's in a senior body, doesn't mean they can't do physically challenging yoga poses, it's all in the mind ... but we start you out with a gentle series of postures to stretch any body. And if you're not a senior yet - or even close - you can use these beginner's exercises to start your yoga practice today that can last into your golden years.
