The Silver Yogi

The Silver Yogi is an introduction to Yoga for seniors. As we age, we lose flexibility and range of motion. Yoga is a low-impact solution. The poses help to lengthen the muscles and increase blood flow and joint mobility. The slow, measured movements can lead to better balance and movement, which can help prevent falls. Seniors are at an increased risk for falls. With increased mobility, seniors get around more safely. Yoga is a tool that allows seniors to stay mobile and independent longer.

Research has shown that practicing Yoga can help relieve common conditions such as arthritis, rheumatism, hypertension(high blood pressure), heart disease, and incontinence.

Yoga promotes relaxation. Research shows that meditation helps reduce stress. Stress affects three aspects of ourselves: our body, mind, and breathing. Yoga teaches how to use meditation and breathing to reduce the effects of stress on the human body and mind. Reduced stress can have a positive effect on blood pressure.



In the Silver Yogi, you will learn the basic yoga poses and postures. You will also learn about breathing techniques and meditation. Join us on a journey in holistic wellness through Yoga.
