Hi Pushpa,

 

Yoga is a great exercise that is appropriate in pediatric, adult, and geriatrics. Yoga can be altered to fit certain population group. In the geriatric population, a low-intensity yoga can be initiated, then can progress to medium intensity to high intensity. It would be great if a program for senior homes, or assisted living can offer yoga. Yoga can help increase mobility, reduce stress, and aid in the reduction of pain. The increase muscle movement can help lower blood sugar by increasing the glucose absorption of the muscle cells. Yoga is also a great social activity to encourage socialization and decrease depression.
