“Am I too old to try yoga?” “What if I get hurt?”
These are common concerns for seniors interested in yoga—but the truth is, yoga can be one of the safest and most beneficial activities to help you regain confidence, improve mobility, and live life on your terms.

Yoga is much more than stretches and poses; it’s a holistic practice that nurtures both body and mind. Here are some of the standout benefits:

• Improved Strength and Flexibility: Gentle poses strengthen muscles and increase range of motion, helping you move with ease.

• Better Balance and Stability: Yoga reduces the risk of falls by improving coordination and balance.

• Increased Body Awareness: By focusing on mindful movement, yoga enhances your ability to notice how your body feels in different positions, which is key to avoiding injuries.

• Reduced Stress and Anxiety: Breathing techniques and relaxation exercises promote calm and clarity.

• Enhanced Posture: Proper alignment taught in yoga can alleviate back pain and improve how you carry yourself daily.

While yoga offers incredible benefits, stepping into a traditional yoga class can feel overwhelming. The poses may seem intimidating, or you might worry about keeping up with the pace. That’s why my course is designed specifically for seniors or anyone who wants to learn more about the true fundamentals of working with breath and body awareness to improve any movement.

In this program, you’ll receive:

• Personalized Guidance in Small Classes: Each class is intentionally small so you’ll get the individual attention needed to ensure safety and progress.

• Foundational Techniques: Learn the basics of yoga, including proper alignment, safe modifications, and mindful breathing, to prepare you for any traditional class. Each class will build on the last to progress your practice at your own speed.

• Focus on Injury Prevention: Through improved body awareness and strength, you’ll reduce the risk of strain or injury, both on and off the mat.

As a physical therapist, I enjoy incorporating many different styles of exercise and activities to achieve the goals I set for my clients. Yoga has been an approach I’ve used for a while, but more recently I’ve been digging deeper into the practice. I’ve gone beyond just doing poses, but actually bringing more awareness of my body and my breath, and I’ve really felt the difference. I feel my strength and posture improving and my chronic back pain decreasing.

I used to think that flows were the only way that I could enjoy yoga … until I discovered the peace and strength that I can achieve with the slower pace. It allows me to be truly present, giving me the time and the space to listen to my body.

Yoga isn’t just about moving better—it’s about living better. By embracing yoga, you’ll cultivate a deeper connection with your body, feel empowered to stay active, and gain the tools to prevent injuries and maintain independence as you age.

If you’re ready to experience these benefits for yourself, join my yoga course for seniors. Together, we’ll help you build strength, confidence, and body awareness, setting you up for success in any yoga class—or simply in your daily life.

Let’s take this journey together.
