Yoga for seniors: stay young and flexible

Can yoga help you keep you young?

Anything which increases your flexibility (mental and physical) and keeps you mobile for such a small investment of time and energy is worth checking out.

Yoga Journal – Yoga Buzz – Yoga Blog reports:

“Researchers at Indiana University released a study today that showed older adults who practice hatha yoga may be less afraid of falling—which is important, the study says, because that fear can limit physical and social activity, ultimately diminishing the quality of life.”

Give your local yoga studio a call. Many studios have classes for seniors. If they don’t, then take a beginner’s class. You’ll be glad you did, right from your very first class.
