At The Reserve of Geneva, we know that staying active and feeling your best go hand in hand. Yoga is a simple yet powerful way for active, older adult to support both physical health and mental well-being. Whether you’ve been practicing for years or are just starting out, adding yoga to your routine can bring lasting benefits. Here’s why every active adult should give it a try!

1. Yoga increases flexibility and mobility.
   With age, maintaining good flexibility becomes essential for overall injury prevention and mobility. Yoga gently stretches muscles and improves range of motion. As flexibility improves, daily activities, such as reaching, bending, and even walking become easier and more comfortable. Over time, regular practice can help keep you active and independent.
   
2. Yoga improves strength and balance.
   Yoga isn’t just about stretching—it also helps build muscle strength. In fact, many yoga poses work multiple muscle groups, making you stronger over time. Since yoga includes balance exercises that strengthen stabilizing muscles, it also helps reduce the risk of falls and improves overall coordination.
   
3. Yoga reduces stress.
   Yoga is great for the body, but it can also be a powerful way to calm the mind. Regular practice can boost your emotional well-being and help you approach daily life with a more positive mindset. The gentle movements and mindful breathing work together to reduce stress and create a feeling of relaxation.
   
4. Yoga supports cardiovascular health.
   Making yoga a part of your daily routine has been shown to lower cortisol levels, reducing inflammation and the risk of heart disease. Adding yoga to your routine is a simple way to support a healthier heart and overall well-being.
   
5. Yoga enhances mental clarity.
   Yoga isn’t just good for the body—it’s great for the brain, too. The mindfulness aspect of yoga helps improve focus, reduce mental fog, and boost cognitive function. By training the mind to stay present, yoga can help you feel more alert and engaged in daily life.
   
6. Yoga brings people together.
   Finally, participating in a gentle yoga class at The Reserve of Geneva offers more than just health benefits—it’s also a great way to connect with other residents. Group yoga sessions provide a supportive and uplifting environment where neighbors can encourage one another while sharing in their wellness journeys together.
