Yoga and the Elderly
A recent study has shown that specific yoga programs, in this case a nine-week Iyengar yoga course designed specifically for senior citizens may be able to assist older people in improving balance and stability. Given the number of older adults that suffer a fall each year, this is an interesting result. The study showed that the participants had improved muscle strength in the lower legs, a faster stride, increased flexibility in the legs, improved single-leg stance and more confidence in walking and balance.
