"It is our pleasure to share our experience about Yana Kazbekova’s yoga classes that she has been conducting at our assisted living center for more than a year now.

Thanks to these yoga classes, we have noticed more improved alertness, better cognition, and improved balance among our seniors. Because of these results, our company has recognized Yana Kazbekova as an essential part of our physical activities program.
I invite anyone interested in observing Yana’s yoga sessions at our locations. If you have any questions please call me. "

Why Seniors Yoga?

Seniors Yoga is a specific form of the exercise that uses chairs for body placement. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, falls are the leading cause of injury death for people ages 65 and older.
Researchers from the School of Podiatric Medicine at Temple University in Philadelphia examined the gait and postural stability of 24 elderly participants who were enrolled in a yoga program specifically designed for people over age 65.

At the end of the nine-week program, participants had shown following results:

Jinsup Song, D.P.M., Ph.D., Director of the Gait Study Center at Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine: "People are gaining more confidence as they stand and walk at the end of the yoga intervention. People are more aware of their body posture. It [yoga] opens up a whole range of treatment options we didn't think we had before."

Researchers say this preliminary study will pave the way for a larger study on how yoga may affect the function of the foot to improve balance and stability, and prevent falls.
