Young, old, very old, diseased or weak attain accomplishment in yoga with the practice without slackness.
Hatha Pradipika 1:64
There is no universally accepted classification system that can be applied to yoga. Every person has a different physique, and as a consequence, the way in which they practice differs according to their individual characteristics. Yoga can be practiced in a variety of ways, but it is open to everyone. In order to determine which practices one ought to carry out, it is necessary to conduct a thorough assessment of one's age, gender, historical medical history, and current level of practice. This is something that we take into consideration when developing the practice methodology that we use for our students.
This is the message that we want to convey to senior citizens: the benefits of practicing yoga are possible for them at any age, regardless of how old they are. Yoga has the potential to be beneficial when it is practiced under the direction of an experienced instructor, with undivided attention, and with careful execution of the sequences.
