Before You Start Yoga for Seniors
One of the great things about yoga is that it is so adaptable to different populations with diverse physical abilities and needs. Though the popular image of yoga may be a young person twisted up like a pretzel with apparent ease, those who are older and less flexible can enjoy a yoga practice just as much and potentially benefit from it even more.
Is Yoga Appropriate for Seniors?

In most cases, seniors can absolutely do yoga. Many people with hectic schedules only find the time for activities like yoga in retirement. Though the tendency is to become more sedentary, retirement is the perfect time to pick up healthy habits that will promote longevity.

The Benefits of Yoga for Seniors

The benefits of yoga for seniors are much the same as those for the general population: increased muscle tone, balance (which is particularly important strenght and improved mood.
Through pranayama (breathing exercises), lung capacity is increased. You can expect your posture to improve and you may sleep better. If you experience stress, yoga can help counteract that too. But keep in mind that these benefits will not come overnight after a single yoga class. 

What Kind of Yoga Should You Try?

What kind of yoga is most appropriate will depend on your age, the current level of fitness, and physical ability. If you are starting to exercise for the first time (or after a long break) or have already lost significant muscle tone and flexibility, you should start with a very gentle Hatha practice.
Adaptive Yoga

Even seniors with very limited mobility can still do yoga through adaptive practices. In chair yoga, all the poses are done with the support of chairs. Water yoga is especially therapeutic since the body feels weightless and moves more easily underwater. Check your local YMCA pool to see if they offer aqua yoga classes



Yoga classes for seniors are becoming more popular and increasingly available. Check local senior centers, retirement communities, religious organizations, and even health clubs to see if they have seniors' yoga classes on offer.
