Yoga for Health: Elderly
After time, activity takes its toll on the body. No one knows this better than an older adult who struggles to remain fit, but who also doesn’t want to further their decline with more pain or injury.

Home Care Sleep Tips for Older Adults

Tai Chi, a mind-body practice, which originated in China as a martial art, is a non-competitive, slow paced, gentle physical activity that can burn as many or more calories than surfing and downhill skiing.
