About This Episode

Can chair-based yoga offer older adults more than gentle exercise? This episode of www.YogaInsightPod.com explores participants’ experiences with the 12-week Gentle Years Yoga program, including perceived changes in mobility, balance, pain, sleep, calm, breathing awareness, and everyday self-management. The study was led by Lesley Ward and colleagues from Northumbria University, York St John University, the University of York, and British Wheel of Yoga Qualifications.
