Teaching yoga to seniors: essential considerations to enhance safety and reduce risk in a uniquely vulnerable age group
Seniors age 65 and older represent the fastest-growing sector of the population and, like many Americans, are increasingly drawn to yoga.

A typical class of seniors is likely to represent the most diverse mix of abilities of any age group.
