Gerontology Yoga
Research indicates it may even help counteract some age-related cellular changes and improve cognitive function

Proposed Benefits

  • Senior yoga, Gentle yoga, Chair yoga plays an important role in preventive health care :
    • Improving balance and stability, which can reduce the risk of falls
    • Flexibility
    • Increases joint mobility and strength
    • Mental well-being : enhances cognitive function, including memory / focus, increases mental acuity, emotional well-being and a sense of calm
    • Deep breathing : enhances respiratory function and lung capacity through deep breathing exercises
    • Mindful movement
    • Reduce stress, anxiety, and depression by regulating stress hormones like cortisol
    • Reduce inflammation, stress, and improve mobility : can ease joint pain. Practices improve conditions like chronic lower back pain and arthritis by strengthening core muscles (abdominal oblique muscles), increasing flexibility, and calming the nervous system.

    Geroscience randomised controlled studies with Yoga

  • PubMed Central - NIH : Yoga for Healthy Aging well-designed studies provide data showing that yoga practice has positive effects on cellular aging (8-OH2dG, a product of DNA damage), mobility (preventing sedentary behavior), balance, mental health, and prevention of cognitive decline

  • Geroscience is an interdisciplinary field of study that explores the connection between aging and age-related diseases and disabilities. It operates on the hypothesis that by targeting the fundamental biological mechanisms of aging, it may be possible to prevent or delay the onset of multiple diseases simultaneously, thereby extending "healthspan" (the period of life lived in good health)

  • Can slow cellular aging markers, including those related to DNA damage and oxidative stress. Yoga protects against frailty.

  • Neurobiological and anti-aging benefits of yoga : may lead to beneficial changes in brain regions associated with age-related cognitive decline

  • Aesthetics : regular practice can improve skin health, posture, creating a youthful appearance and vibrant energy.

  • Gait disorder : Yoga increasing leg strength, overall vitality (boosts walking speed), ability to rise from a chair or bed, both associated with less frailty and increased longevity. Yoga is more effective "potentiating the damage" as an early intervention for frailty at younger ages, "offsetting" the diseases of aging.

  • By enhancing blood circulation, detoxifying the body, and reducing inflammation, yoga helps slow down aging at a cellular level, making you feel and look younger.

  • Improving immune function

    • Gerontology yoga class

  • Gentle and slow pace: The practice is designed to be slow and mindful, emphasising breath and body awareness.

  • Modifications: Many poses can be modified to suit different abilities.

  • Chair support: Chair yoga is a common and accessible form, using a chair for stability during poses.

  • Focus on breathing: Deep breathing exercises are a key component, helping to calm the mind and oxygenate the body.

  • Focus on core muscles: Practices often focus on core strength, flexibility, and improving balance through adapted movements and stretches
