Yoga can improve mobility among people over age 60 and possibly help prevent falls by improving balance, according to a new review of existing research. The results of this Australian study may not be surprising, but what is exciting is that “significant improvements occurred in balance and mobility as a result of relatively short programs of yoga – the average number of hours offered was 20 hours,” said senior author Anne Tiedemann of Sydney Medical School, The University of Sydney. Normally, balance and mobility decline with age and the risk of falling increases significantly after the age of 65.
