Anyone can do yoga, of course, but doing yoga over 60 comes with its own benefits. Even just a few exercises every week can help improve strength, flexibility, and balance, which in turn help reduce the risk of falls and osteoporosis later in life. It also boosts energy and mental wellbeing.
Whether you do a full yoga workout or do a few minutes of yoga every day, it all makes a difference if you do it often enough, says Melissa Leach, a yoga expert and a strength and conditioning coach who works with Yoga Go, one of our best yoga apps. "Regular practice helps maintain mobility, reduce stiffness in the joints, and strengthen muscles that support posture and stability," she explains.
