Yoga for Seniors

Published by bgerhart at 12:26 am under Chair Exercise, Exercise, Physical Fitness

Yoga classes for seniors are becoming increasingly popular. Check local senior centers, retirement communities, religious organizations and even health clubs for senior yoga classes. If you can’t find a special senior class, a gentle beginners class will do. Lyengar yoga, with its emphasis on adapting the practice through the use of props such a blocks and chairs, is also good for seniors and many Iyengar centers offer classes for this demographic.

The benefits of yoga for seniors are similar tot he benefits for the general population: increased muscle tone, strength, balance, and improved mood. You can improve your posture and you may sleep better. If you experience stress, yoga can help counteract that too. Remember that these benefits will not come overnight. Regularly attending at least three classes a week will allow you to enjoy the best yoga has to offer.

Be sure to speak to your doctor before trying yoga, especially if you suffer from any chronic conditions or are very inactive.
