Yoga for Older Adults: unlock your body’s natural strength
Yoga for Older Adults can help you:
1. Move with greater ease through everyday activities
2. Strengthen key muscles to improve balance and reduce fall risk
3. Increase your power and confidence to keep moving and exploring
This class shares the anatomy of daily functional movements while you strengthen and lengthen key muscle groups to improve your strength, balance, and mobility.
Yoga for Older Adult classes offer props, chairs, and walls to make each pose accessible to you. Each class moves the entire body but highlights a specific region of anatomy for functional movement.
For example, classes may address:
core for stability and balance
shoulders for reach and range of motion
hip strength and mobility to reduce fall risk
back muscles for upper body balance and pain relief
Consider this: We don’t stop moving because we grow old; we grow old because we stop moving.
Backed by research:
Yoga for Older Adults classes celebrate older adults and invite them to keep being their true, amazing selves.
Research shows that we age more rapidly when we don’t move. That’s because we’re built to move. We’re also meant to be in community. To move and be social is to be human. See the research on happiness in aging.
So I invite you to change your perspective on aging. There is no age or stage where it is too late to move your body and interact with others. Find out how Yoga for Older Adult classes can help.
