The ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) has reported that the first baby boomers began to retire in 2001. The need to accommodate this aging population will demand challenging exercise classes that honor and respect the aging body of this age group. Studies suggest that the biggest challenge the nation faces is to successfully manage the health and wellness of older adults.

It is inevitable that the human body ages. Aging gracefully is a choice. Yoga can reverse the aging process and can allow people to enjoy their ageless bodies well into their golden years. This population is at many different levels of fitness and ability. This is primarily based on fitness habits long since established by each individual. The beauty of yoga is that any fitness level can begin and benefit from a yoga practice. With the use of many different props like the wall a chair or a strap the ability of each individual can be matched and improved!

“The New Yoga for People Over 50”, a book by Susan Francina, relates the differences noted between inactive elderly people and the seemingly ageless older adults (even the same age) who practice yoga regularly. The later group of yoga exercisers showed almost no evidence of common aging ailments such as arthritis, osteoporosis, heart problems, breathing issues, incontinence and memory loss.

The ACSM suggest that programs be based on need rather than age, since physical abilities will differ greatly within the same age group. How we age has more to with how we think about aging more than any other factor! Who cares how old we are chronologically? It is more important that we live each day with a positive attitude, a high level of enthusiasm, confidence and most importantly contentment!

Yoga has been shown to help alleviate or reduce many health challenges among the senior population. The less we move the more susceptible anyone will become to health problems. It can be a cyclical problem. Move it or lose it!
