Yoga for Seniors with Kevala Health

Gentle yoga is perfect for older adults to get stronger, and more flexible, and improve their mental and physical health. There are many styles of yoga and not all yoga is suitable for seniors. Always consult your doctor before beginning any new exercise program or yoga.

The best yoga style is Hatha, Yin, and slow-paced classes. It’s important to keep the body moving as we get older and move our body correctly so we reduce any injuries or pain when the body ages. Keeping the mind healthy and reducing anxiety and depression is another important factor to consider for seniors’ health and well-being.

I’m in my fifties now and know from personal experience how much yoga has helped me manage body changes as we age, not just physically but mentally and emotionally. As long as you take it slowly in the beginning and are guided by an experienced yoga teacher, you will be rewarded with all the benefits of yoga for seniors.
