(KUTV) Its a 5,000 year old practice that can improve your health in more ways than one. At the Millcreek Community Center, yoga classes are filled with men and women in their fifties participating alongside those over eighty proving that yoga is for all ages. Kari Dineley, yoga instructor at the Millcreek Community Center, says shes seen all kinds of success stories through yoga. One involves a man in his late seventies regaining an important skill. After maybe a month and a half in class, he could tie his shoes for the first time in two years, says Dineley. Studies show yoga has numerous health benefits including lowering blood pressure and reducing stress. It can also increase strength, flexibility and overall wellbeing. One of the most rewarding health perks is improving balance, especially as people begin to age. A lot of what I see being accomplished with balance is confidence, says Dineley. Kari Dineley wants to encourage anyone interested in yoga to give it a try. She says when it comes to yoga age does not matter nor does your ability level. Everyone starts where theyre going to start and that place is perfect, says Dineley.
