मुखं संयम्य यत्नेन प्राणं घ्राणेन रेचयेत् ।।६०।।
Place properly both the soles of the feet upon the thighs. This auspicious (asana) is known by the name padmāsana which is destroyer of all the evils.
There is no universally accepted classification system that can be applied to yoga. Every person has a different physique, and as a consequence, the way in which they practice differs according to their individual characteristics. Yoga can be practiced in a variety of ways, but it is open to everyone. In order to determine which practices one ought to carry out, it is necessary to conduct a thorough assessment of one's age, gender, historical medical history, and current level of practice. This is something that we take into consideration when developing the practice methodology that we use for our students.
This is the message that we want to convey to senior citizens: the benefits of practicing yoga are possible for them at any age, regardless of how old they are. Yoga has the potential to be beneficial when it is practiced under the direction of an experienced instructor, with undivided attention, and with careful execution of the sequences.
There are five primary reasons why yoga holds particular significance for older adults:
-
Improves Balance and Stability
-
Enhances Flexibility and Joint Health
-
Promotes Better Breathing and Cardiovascular Health
-
Encourages Mental Well-being
-
Fosters Social Connections
The term "seniors yoga" refers to a specific type of exercise that is designed specifically for people of a certain age, with an emphasis on gentle movements, balance, and flexibility. This product is intended to improve the health of joints, increase mobility, and reduce stiffness associated with aging. It was developed specifically to address issues that are associated with the aging process.
The practice of yoga for seniors places an emphasis on the significance of achieving a state of relaxation and being mindful of one's breath. Not only does this practice improve one's physical health, but it also has positive effects on one's mental and emotional well-being. In addition to fostering a sense of unity and promoting overall well-being among the elderly population, the practice is adaptable, which ensures that it is inclusive of senior citizens who have varying degrees of physical fitness.
