Yoga for Seniors

Sequences carefully designed for elderly people, or for anyone looking for gentle yoga practices to improve overall flexibility and strength.

My name is Konstantina.

I studied Pedagogics of Ballet at the Music Academy in Sofia, Bulgaria. I have been teaching yoga since 2018, when I received my Yoga Teacher Diploma from the Association for Yoga and Meditation (AYM) Yoga School in Rishikesh, India—registered with the Yoga Alliance (USA) and the Yoga Certification Board, Ministry of Ayush, Government of India.

I am currently continuing my studies as a Yoga Instructor at the Kaivalyadhamma Yoga Institute in Lonavala, Pune, registered with the Indian Yoga Association.

As we age, it’s important to incorporate physical activity into our daily routines to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Yoga is often considered one of the best forms of exercise for older adults. Over time, and with proper guidance, seniors can improve flexibility and balance, enhance strength, and boost mood through regular practice.

My experience as both a teacher and a student has taught me that older adults need a personalized approach to yoga. The pace of each class is important—slow transitions and pauses between postures allow practitioners to experience bodily sensations fully.

When we observe the body, or certain parts of it, while in an asana, the mind begins to calm down. The breathing pattern changes, and as a result, the thinking pattern changes—the automatic, unconscious way of thinking transforms. The mechanism is that simple.

Let’s explore together the main differences between yoga and other physical activities, and discover how yoga can deepen awareness, balance, and well-being.

The classes are based on traditional asanas (postures), inspired by the Iyengar method, using props to support our journey toward alignment, stability, and comfort in each pose.
