Yoga, connection, and community for older adults
Silver Age Yoga Community Outreach · Since 2004
We believe older adults deserve welcoming opportunities to move, learn, and connect. Silver Age Yoga Community Outreach is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving seniors through yoga adapted to their needs.
Our classes bring people together across San Diego County and online, with no required class fee.
Our mission
To provide health-enhancing and life-enriching yoga practices to our underserved senior population.
A vision that began with two teachers
Frank and Serpil Iszak founded Silver Age Yoga Community Outreach in 2003. Inspired by their own yoga practices, they wanted to make yoga more accessible to older adults, especially those who might otherwise be unable to access or afford classes.
They developed Silver Age Yoga around the needs of seniors. Their vision continues through our teachers, volunteers, staff, and community partners.
How we bring our mission to life
Welcoming classes
Adults 55+ can join classes at libraries, senior centers, and other community locations, or participate online. Voluntary donations help support our classes, and no one is turned away for inability to donate.
Specialized training
Our online teacher training helps yoga teachers and professionals in related fields learn to adapt yoga for older adults. Participants can explore the course and find the path that fits their background.
