Yoga Books for Older People

Yoga is a genuine friend for life - something you can practice to your last days - enhancing your bodily comfort, fitness and agility, and working with your spiritual development.  Many people are practising in their 70s and 80s. It is never too late to start, and always beneficial - even if you think it won’t be! However you should get the approval of your health professional, especially if you are not used to physical activity or have a medical condition. Before long, you will be sitting cross-legged on the floor in comfort and meditating - and then you’ll be wondering why you left it so long!

cover By Suza Francina
"No segment of our population can benefit more from yoga than people over 50," says author Suza Francina, Iyengar yoga instructor and director of the Ojai Yoga Center, where she specializes in classes for people over 50. The New Yoga for People over 50 shows how to adapt traditional postures to suit any age or fitness level with step-by-step instructions aimed at the older beginner. Photographs, quotes, and personal stories of yoga teachers and students--many in their 70s and older--add inspiration.
One key to modifying postures for older, stiffer bodies is the use of props that provide support to let the yoga student get into strenuous postures and hold them longer without pain or fatigue. The book illustrates how to adapt many postures with the aid of chairs, walls, wall ropes, bolsters, back-bending benches, and straps. Yoga decreases stiffness and inertia, and enhances health, energy, flexibility, posture, breathing, independence, and balance (physical and emotional). Francina explains how yoga may prevent the shortening and rounding of the spine and ward off osteoporosis. This book is an excellent companion to a yoga class or an inspiration to begin one. --Joan Price

messling@yournet.com from Arknasas:
As a yoga student as well as an instructor, I found this book an excellent resource for a beginner of any age. Ms. Ward directs the new student through the yoga postures in a concise manner which is easy to read. Her instructions are also easy to follow and she offers modifications for those who are less flexible as well as offering challenges for students who, either through regular practice or general good health, wish to add a few harder postures. I use this series during my classes with good results and beginners of all ages seem to enjoy it.
