Yoga for Seniors
Senior Yoga is a type of yoga adapted for individuals over 65 years old. It aims to maintain vitality and well-being for as long as possible.
Numerous studies have shown that this practice helps reduce fatigue, stress, and pain. Senior Yoga is a gentle and accessible practice that I have specifically designed to meet the needs and abilities of older individuals. It is a wonderful way to maintain flexibility, strengthen muscles, improve balance, and promote overall well-being, all within a respectful and safe environment.
In my Senior Yoga classes, I take a personalized and attentive approach. Sessions are structured around gentle and adapted yoga postures, which can be done either on a chair or a mat, depending on each person’s abilities. This flexibility allows all participants to fully enjoy the benefits of yoga, regardless of their level of fitness or mobility.
I emphasize deep breathing exercises and relaxation techniques, helping seniors manage stress, improve sleep quality, and increase mental clarity. These techniques also contribute to better pain management and an increased sense of well-being. Senior Yoga is also an opportunity to create social connections and share a positive experience with others of the same age. My classes provide a friendly and warm space where everyone can feel supported and encouraged.
Join my Senior Yoga classes to explore a practice tailored to your pace, in a welcoming and caring environment. Whether you are a complete beginner or already have experience with yoga, these sessions are an invitation to improve your physical and mental health, and enhance your quality of life.
