Yoga for Longevity: Mobility, Mindfulness, and Vibrant Health

Yoga for Longevity is your go-to podcast for understanding the how and why behind yoga, mobility, mindfulness, and healthy aging. We explore the science and real-life application of therapeutic yoga (including gentle yoga, alignment-based yoga, Hatha yoga, chair yoga, functional movement, and other adaptable approaches to support your body) so you can build strength, flexibility, and balance at any age. You’ll discover how posture, bone health, joint health, fall prevention, balance, and mindful strength over 50 connect to your long-term vitality, and how breathwork, meditation, and stress relief techniques support your nervous system and mind-body connection.
