Yoga For Healthy Aging Sequence
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to the question of how to stay young, but incorporating yoga into your life is a great place to start. Yoga is a mind-body practice that can help you maintain your health and well-being as you age.
The yoga for healthy aging sequence below is designed to help you stay flexible, strong, and agile. It includes poses that target key areas of the body that tend to weaken with age, such as the lower back, hips, and knees.
If you have any health conditions or are pregnant, please consult with your doctor before starting this sequence.
Preliminary Poses
Start by warming up your body with a few preliminary poses. These poses help to increase blood flow and flexibility, and prepare your body for the more challenging poses later in the sequence.
Cat-Cow Pose:
Start on your hands and knees, with your hands directly below your shoulders and your knees directly below your hips. Inhale as you arch your spine and tuck your chin, and exhale as you round your spine and tuck your chin. Continue moving back and forth between these two poses for a few breaths.
Downward-Facing Dog:
From Cat-Cow Pose, press into your hands and lift your hips up to form an inverted V-shape with your body. Keep your heels pressed down to the floor, and hold for a few breaths.
