Teaching Yoga to Seniors

Senior Yoga Class

Silver Age Yoga - the Style

Seniors have unique health challenges. Therefore, a new style of Hatha Yoga based on geriatric science and research was created to meet these challenges and needs. Silver Age Yoga is designed so that seniors can safely participate at their level of comfort. As a result seniors become more involved and engaged because they are feeling better. Yoga teachers gain specialized knowledge which can help enlarge their student base and income.

Community Outreach (SAYCO) – Mission Fulfillment

In order to provide the benefits of Silver Age Yoga to a wide range of underserved seniors, the Silver Age Yoga Community Outreach (SAYCO) program was created. Its mission is to provide Silver Age Yoga classes at no cost to underserved seniors throughout the country.

This unique program benefits many people on different levels. Seniors get weekly, health enhancing and life enriching yoga practices, at no charge to the seniors. Their adult children worry less knowing their parents are proactively engaged. The community benefits by having a healthier and more active senior population to participate in community affairs. Yoga teachers get to give back to the community through the time honored practice of Seva and can earn additional income.

Silver Age Yoga also offers:
