Golden Age Yoga is an informal name for a form of Hatha Yoga adapted for older adults. It modifies traditional poses and practices to accommodate age-related physical limitations, making yoga more accessible, safe, and beneficial for seniors. This gentle approach encourages mobility, balance, and overall well-being while respecting each individual’s unique needs and capabilities.
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga that targets the deep connective tissues of the body, such as ligaments, joints, and fascia. Poses are held for several minutes with minimal movement, promoting flexibility, joint health, and inner stillness.
