Summary
Do you want to have more energy, or reduce pain and stiffness in your body, even if you can't get down to a yoga mat? I didn't invent yoga–it has been around for thousands of years–but I am an enthusiast, advocate, and practitioner of the ancient art. I introduced my mother to yoga when she was in her 50s–28 years ago. You'd never believe she's 78--she's spritely, energetic, and full of life. Like anyone her age, she has aches and pains, but when I see the impact yoga has had on her life I'm confident about the benefits it can bring to the lives of others.
The yoga poses you will find in this book are simple and easy to repeat, even if you have never exercised before. We have included modifications of many well-known poses so they can be tailored to suit your needs. People with arthritis, osteoporosis, or other conditions worry that exercise will make things worse for them, resulting in more pain. This could not be further from the truth. If my mam could do it, so can you.

Very Impressive Guide for Yoga Practice
I'm really impressed with this audiobook! It introduces some fantastic yoga poses that are gentle and great for people who might be new to yoga, older individuals, or guys who are a bit hesitant to give it a try.
The best part is, it offers different versions of each pose, so it's suitable for everyone, even if you have some aches or health concerns. I love how the guy in the audiobook talks about his mom doing yoga and staying active as she gets older. It shows that yoga can be for anyone, and it can help you feel stronger, more flexible, balanced, and maybe even a bit younger. I think even my grandpa would enjoy this! It's straightforward, easy, and really beneficial.

Renewed strength and flexibility
I can personally relate to the author's journey of introducing yoga to a loved one. In my case, it was my own mother. While the aging process inevitably brings its own aches and pains, witnessing the transformative impact of yoga on my mother's life reaffirms my belief in the potential benefits it holds for others in their golden years.
The yoga poses presented within these pages are not intimidating or overly complex. They are intentionally designed to be simple and repeatable, even for those who've never ventured onto a yoga mat before. The inclusion of modifications for well-known poses ensures that individuals with varying physical conditions, such as arthritis or osteoporosis, can safely begin this journey toward improved well-being.
It's a reminder that it's never too late to embark on a journey toward improved posture, flexibility, balance, and strength. If my mother could embark on this path to wellness, I'm confident that anyone can.

So helpful
Yoga is incredibly important for your body but learning to mold your body into the poses can be quite difficult. That all ends now. With this guide (which I recommend you listen to as you practice) you will learn easy poses that anyone can do to release stress held in your body, gain the mobility/flexibility you need, and get that deep stress that your body craves!

Excellent Guide to Yoga for Seniors
I got this audiobook for my mother, who had a bad fall about a year ago and has been hesitant to do any exercise since. She needed to get moving and stretching again, and this was the perfect solution. The poses and stretches in this audiobook are realistic and attainable for seniors, and my Mom was able to do them. I have already noticed that her balance is getting better and it seems like she is more optimistic and feeling better as well. I highly recommend it.

Helpful guide for seniors
This book is absolutely incredible. It helped my mother become more energetic and has decreased her back pain and stiffness. The best part is that it suggested very easy poses, which can be suitable for everyone, even for senior beginners.
I will definitely count yoga to my morning routine because if my mother can benefit from this, then anyone can. The narrator's voice was crystal clear and calming. I appreciate the author's effort in writing this worthwhile audiobook for us. Highly recommended!
