Yoga for a Healthy Brain As You Age | Ep. 49

Yoga for a Healthy Brain As You Age | Ep. 49

The word that's right on the tip of your tongue. Walking into a room and forgetting why you came in. The little "senior moments" that make you wonder what's ahead. If you're over 60 and you've wondered whether there's anything you can actually do to support your brain, this episode is for you.

Years before she had the research to explain it, Mikah Horn was teaching daily yoga in a memory care unit, watching something remarkable happen in that room. In this episode she shares that story and walks through what the science now shows about yoga and brain health, honestly. Not a cure, but real, simple, evidence-backed ways to support your memory, focus, and mental clarity as the years go on.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why the habits that protect your brain long-term are the same ones that keep you feeling sharp today
  • What a major review of yoga and cognition research found, including a surprising comparison to a common Alzheimer's medication
  • A simple coordination move that challenges your brain while you work on your balance
  • How a twelve-minute meditation has been studied for memory and focus
  • The honest truth about what yoga can and can't do for your aging brain
