Best Yoga For Senior Health: Kundalini Yoga

Out of so many “beginner's” yoga, choosing one that’s right for you can be a daunting task.

Particularly of you’re 60 plus and have limited flexibility.

But take a hint from the experts.

Ancient Indian culture believes that a 50-year-old is actually in a mental place where they can handle the spiritual demands of an active yoga lifestyle, because years of life experience will help them reach higher levels of consciousness. Dig that!

Experts suggest embracing Kundalini Yoga. This yoga is particularly kind to the muscles, sticking to a mind-body healing connection. It’s very spiritual, combining chanting and meditations with controlled breathing. But it has enough oomph to help a senior stay fit and active.

One of the most demanding poses is the Rock Pose. This simple kneeling pose, or asana, requires the person to rest their bottom on their heels to press the nerves in the center of the buttocks. It is excellent for the digestive system.

The problem is getting seniors away from the TV. So, consider this: if you simply remove the TV, add meditation and a different sitting pose, you get Kundalini yoga.

And this type of “sedentary” lifestyle will reduce back pain, muscle cramps, weak bones, osteoporosis, joint pain, and decreased mobility.

Namaste, indeed!
