After retirement or already around 50 years of life, many people remember the beneficial effects of practicing yoga. The reason is often accumulated health problems or the concern of family members who persuade seniors to start with yoga.

When is the right time to start with yoga practice?

Those who have started practicing yoga exercises know the answer. The answer is simple – every moment is right time.

Every year of life we are living is the best year of our life when we dedicate ourselves to health and finding wisdom and joy of life.

People’s first thought when aging is mentioned is poor mobility, instability due to weak muscles and unprepared joints. However, it doesn’t have to be that way.

Aging does not have to mean immediately having health issues.

One of the ways to care for our health over the years is to practice yoga designed for population over 50 years old.

To take responsibility for our health

After 50 years of life, it is easier to see the true-life priorities. The children have already become independent, new young workers have come at work place and we have more and more time for ourselves.

Until the age of 50, we believed that doctors should take care of our health. Now we realize that it is our priority responsibility – taking care of our own health. Now we can’t look for excuses that we don’t have time, that we need to support children become independent, that we fail due to obligations at the workplace. Now is the right time to dedicate ourselves to adopting healthy lifestyle habits – a healthy lifestyle.

Fulfilling family and professional aims, life did not stop. “When one door closes, another one has been opened somewhere, you just have to look for it.” New “doors” open endless space of joy. On the door is written: “Nurture your potentials”.

How to achieve daily care?

How to regain vitality? At the Yoga camp 50+, the experts of the Yoga Federation of Europe (YFE) will help you to increase the mobility of your body, to learn proper breathing techniques that enable greater blood flow to the vital organs.
