Gentle Yoga for Seniors: Move Comfortably, Build Confidence

Yoga is for every age. Gentle yoga for seniors focuses on comfort, safety, and confidence—moving joints through friendly ranges, building light strength, and practicing balance. Sessions are slower and more supported, which is exactly the point.

Clear space, use a sturdy chair and a pillow, and keep breath easy. If anything feels sharp or dizzy, stop and rest.
