What Yoga for Seniors is
Yoga for the sixties, seventies and beyond, taught by a teacher who knows which postures to leave out. Much of it can be done from a chair or with a wall for support. The aim is the ordinary business of later life done comfortably: standing up, turning around, sleeping through the night.
Mobility kept is far easier than mobility recovered.
What they will learn
- Chair-supported and wall-supported asanas that are safe for stiff or replaced joints
- Balance work, practised with support until it is steady without
- Gentle pranayama and mindful breathing suited to older lungs
- A short daily routine for the knees, hips, shoulders and lower back
What the benefits are
- Steadier balance, which is the thing that decides how a fall ends
- Joints kept moving through their range instead of quietly losing it
- A calmer evening and, for many, easier sleep
How the 45 minutes run
- Seated warm-up: ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, neck
- Standing or chair asanas, with the wall or the chair back always within reach
- Slow breathing practice, never held to strain
- A long, guided relaxation to finish
What they still have in twenty years
Balance, range of movement and independence held for longer: the things that decide how the next decade is actually lived.

Before you book. Yoga classes are a practice, not medical treatment.

We do not diagnose, treat or cure anything, and a teacher will tell you plainly when a posture is not for you.
