WHY YOGA? - BECAUSE YOGA IMPROVES NEUROMOTOR FITNESS

YOGA AND NEUROMOTOR FITNESS

  • Your nervous system works with your muscles to move your body and improve agility and balance. Aging can cause a loss of balance and agility, increasing your chance of falling, therefore, when performing neuromuscular exercises older persons who are at risk of falling or have mobility issues will greatly benefit.
  • Balance-enhancing activities, included in neuromuscular exercises, are recommended for adults.  These exercises are included in yoga.  Additionally, motor control, and proprioception can all be directly improved by engaging in low-impact, somewhat safe neuromotor exercise like yoga.
  • Given the large body of research that supports yoga as a form of exercise that improves neuromotor fitness, we have included it in our training protocol.
  • [Fig 1] Image is an example on a yoga class in session where participants are working on balance.
