Prakriti Based Yoga
Yoga according to prakriti, your constitution.
The practice
What yoga for elders is
The techniques that yoga offers do not stop being useful with age — they change shape. Support comes in, hold times come down, and the aim moves from reaching further to moving comfortably and confidently every day.
Sessions keep the joints steady and flexible, help maintain healthy bones and muscles, improve digestion and clear bowel movements, and help regulate blood pressure. Where getting to the floor is difficult, the whole practice can be done seated or with a chair for support.
