Gentle yoga is derived from traditional yoga, an ancient practice with poses that date back over 5,000 years. Many, if not all, traditional yoga poses can be replicated as sitting yoga poses or yoga stretches using a chair. This makes gentle yoga both suitable and enjoyable for individuals at all levels of experience, including seniors.
The benefits of an active lifestyle are well known and documented. It’s often said that “exercise is the best medicine.” Luckily, gentle yoga is an effective and accessible exercise for everyone.
Once you begin practicing gentle yoga, you will start to feel a sense of ease and relaxation flow through your body. Over time, you will notice the tension that once overtook your muscles and joints begins to release, and basic tasks of daily life are once again possible.
