Yoga for Seniors

We welcome you to this special workshop designed for seniors to learn and practice yoga. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced practitioner- you can learn the traditional yoga techniques.

Regular practice of yoga asanas, pranayama and meditation can lead to a happier and more fulfilling life. Yoga will not just tone your body, but will also uplift your mind. Your attitude will improve. You will think and feel young. And remember, you are as young as you feel!

Yoga is for all. It is a way of life- irrespective of age, gender, religion and condition. One can practice yoga and derive benefits from it. It is primarily a preventive science but also helps in alleviating pains from many conditions, especially those which arise when the body becomes of senior age. For senior citizens who are looking for a safe, effective way to enhance their physical health and overall wellness, the stretching, breathing, and meditation practices of yoga can be a great solution. In fact, as you will see, doing yoga regularly can result in lots of benefits for older adults, from greater flexibility and improved balance to lower stress and better sleep.

The practices which are simple to perform are sometimes the most effective in nature. As we age, the body requires microcirculation of energy to keep the joints and muscles healthy. The spine too is to be kept supple in its natural curvature. And yoga can be an excellent means for the same. It can rejuvenate the mind and soul, giving relief and soothing the overall body; because asanas can easily be modified or adapted to suit an individual's needs, yoga is safe for seniors of all fitness or ability levels. In fact, it can be an excellent way to keep your body strong and healthy without the joint stress that comes from another day-to-day exhausting activity. And it's never too late to begin!
