Benefits of Senior Yoga for Kiwis

Senior Yoga offers numerous benefits specifically tailored for older adults, making it a popular choice among active Kiwis looking to maintain wellness and mobility as they age.

The practice incorporates controlled breathing techniques that help reduce stress and anxiety, promoting better mental wellbeing alongside physical health.

Our Senior Yoga classes at Glenfield Pool and Leisure Centre are designed to be accessible and beneficial for those with reasonable mobility (Level 2), meaning you'll be among peers with similar capabilities.

• Improved flexibility and joint health - Gentle stretching helps maintain and improve range of motion
