AGED CARE YOGA

Yoga for Seniors in Aged Care and Retirement Living

Our yoga for seniors programs are specifically designed for older Australians living in aged care centres, retirement villages, and assisted living facilities. Every class is adapted to suit participants' physical abilities, whether they are mobile or prefer a fully seated format. Our mobile instructors travel to your facility and work within your lifestyle calendar, making it easy to offer regular, consistent sessions your residents will look forward to.

​

Why Chair Yoga Is Ideal for Aged Care

Chair yoga for aged care is one of the safest and most accessible forms of movement for seniors. All exercises are performed seated or with the support of a chair, making it suitable for residents with limited mobility, balance concerns, or cognitive conditions. Benefits include improved circulation, reduced stiffness, stress relief, and social engagement, all without any floor work or specialist equipment.
