More and more seniors are participating in the practice of yoga and meditation for the many health benefits it offers.  

The practice of yoga is especially good for seniors.  It is much easier on the body than many other fitness activities, such as high-impact aerobics.  Also, unlike other forms of exercise, yoga addresses all aspects of one’s health and well-being.  Breathing exercises can help with respiratory conditions, clarity of mind and the flow of oxygen throughout the body.   As we age, our body gets less movement and we become sedentary.  The body is meant for movement to keep our muscles strong, our blood circulating and our minds alert.
