Looking for safe and natural solutions to stay fit and healthy well into your 50s, 60s, and beyond? Think Yoga! Yoga is a powerful 2000-year old practice you can use to ease pain, lower blood pressure, boost immunity, reduce anxiety, and protect against the stresses of life

Numerous studies support Yoga’s health benefits. A meta-analysis of 37 randomized controlled trials found that yoga can have a beneficial impact on numerous risk factors for heart disease. There’s no need to travel. Simply roll out the yoga mat and click ‘play’.

Start your yoga practice with a popular and simple warm-up routine called “10 Churnings.” Then start practicing with yoga movements for all skill levels:

Our demonstration videos show you the proper form for more than 30 exercises in all. As you progress, you’ll discover how using the “four elements of yoga” affects your physical and mental health, emotions, stress, mind-body awareness, mindfulness, and spirituality.
