5 great reasons for seniors to try yoga
Yoga fights depression
For some people, the senior years aren’t exactly golden. Mental health problems are common in older adults, with an estimated 6.5 million seniors living with depression. While aging comes with a lot of new challenges, like personal health problems, the loss of family and friends, and loneliness, medical professionals agree that depression isn’t a normal part of aging.
