Yoga for seniors
We believe that yoga is for everyone regardless of age, body shape or fitness. As we mature in age, we hopefully have more time for ourselves, our family, for leisure, and relaxation. However, it is also the time when we can become more susceptible to some ailments and this is a good reason to stay fit and healthy. Yoga is ideal for this.
Yoga is a form of exercise that adapts to your needs and abilities. It makes your body fitter, the mind calmer and relaxes you. Yoga is also beneficial in the prevention and control of common health and emotional problems that are linked with ageing. It helps you become more in touch with yourself and your body, enabling you to accept who you are and the changes that take place as the years go by, which creates a positive approach in life.
Some yoga poses are designed to normalise your blood pressure and balance the nervous system, as well as being helpful in the prevention of heart conditions.
