Yoga for seniors

Like Dharmendra, seniors can do yoga to keep their mind sharp and body agile. In a 2023 interview with HT Lifestyle, Himalayan Siddhaa Akshar, founder of Akshar Yoga Institutions, said, “The fact that you are in the prime of your retirement years indicates that you have a lot of free time. You can prevent joint tension, osteoarthritis, and other types of discomfort by practising yoga on a regular basis. Yoga will keep your mind sharp and agile while ensuring that you maintain self-discipline.”

To improve seniors and older adults' health, immunity, strength and general wellbeing, he suggested these mild asanas: Samasthithi/Tadasana, Vrikshasana, Vajrasana and Paschimottanasana or seated forward bend. Click here to learn more about these asanas.
