Is yoga appropriate for seniors? The answer is absolutely "yes" - with some qualifications.
I am Lance Porter. I am a yoga teacher and personal trainer in Bradenton, Florida. I work with people of all ages, including a lot of middle-aged and senior clients. I am a senior myself - I am 65 years old.
Yoga is very popular among seniors, and you will find them in most yoga classes. That's because yoga increases your flexibility, and helps to improve your balance - two things that are very important to older people.
But there are yoga poses that are just too extreme for seniors. Nobody over the age of 65 has any business standing on their head!
So, yes, yoga is great for seniors - if you use common sense and leave out some of the more extreme poses.
If you live in Bradenton and you're looking for a yoga teacher, please get in touch! My fee is $20 for one hour of individual yoga practice. If you have a workout buddy, I also offer partner practice for $10 each. You can call me at 502 475-4686. Or drop me a line at lancenelsonporter@gmail.com.
I look forward to talking with you soon!
Lance
