In fact, there are several yoga lectures designed for seniors, who are over 55, to practice regularly. Most of the exercises, however, are not very different from those for young and adults. The main things are LESS TIME and EFFORT spent. While adults do yoga constantly everyday, seniors may only should practice 2-3 times per week. In addition, you just need to perform the postures right, no need to hold it for a while. Rest should be available after every pose to maintain good stamina.
