Improve Your Balance: Yoga Practice for Seniors

Article At A Glance
This yoga practice for seniors is designed to help them maintain strength and agility, improve balance and develop mental focus. It uses simple balance poses in various positions (on hands and knees, feet, and pelvis) to work on physical balance. Alternate Nostril Breathing (Nadi Shodhana) balances the system on the physiological level. Of course, it’s up to you to decide whether or not this practice is appropriate for your students.
