Yoga After 50 For Dummies Cheat Sheet

When practicing Yoga over the age of 50, remember to adjust your routines to fit your body.

If it doesn’t or it leads to some kind of discomfort, you may not be recognizing what your body is telling you. Before you listen to me or any other Yoga teacher, talk to your doctor about beginning or continuing a Yoga practice. And, most importantly, pay attention to how you are feeling. Nobody truly knows except you. [caption id="attachment_269830" align="alignnone" width="556"] ©Lipik Stock Media/Shutterstock.com[/caption]
