Peter Martinez on 24 Sep 15By Sangeetha Saran Yoga students vary in shapes, sizes, and ages. Each age group presents its own set of limitations and strengths. Teaching Yoga students over the age of 50 is going to be a little different than teaching teenagers. As we age our bodies' change, joints can stiffen, muscles can grow weaker and bones can become more brittle. However, that doesn't mean that all physical activity should stop. It just means that certain modifications may have to be made. The use of props to aid in certain poses may be needed at times.
