Yoga for seniors and chair yoga

Is yoga safe for older adults, and what is chair yoga? Yoga can be a good fit at any age when it is gentle and adapted. Chair yoga keeps you seated or uses a chair for support, so you can stretch, breathe and build balance with less strain on your joints.

Helpful tips

• Use a sturdy chair and keep both feet on the floor.
• Move slowly and never push into pain.
• Look for classes labeled gentle, chair or senior yoga.
