[QUOTE="Nikhil, post: 1013190, member: 398"] [b]Re: Is Yoga benificial for elderly people[/b] I'm not aware of any good Yoga centres in Madras. However, one thing is for sure. Yoga will help your mom a lot. It doesnt matter if she is inflexible now. Once she starts learning, her joints and muscles will become a little more supple and flexible. Of course, in an ideal world, it would have been nice if she had started a decade earlier, but it's never too late. The important thing though is to make sure she is being guided by a genuine teacher and not a quack. At her age, if she injures a muscle or ligament, it is going to be really bad. I have one more suggestion. Dont laugh at me. Swimming. Weather in Madras is always conducive to swimming. My mother suffered a lot from rheumatic arthritis. Then she started swimming about 2 years ago. since then, her joint pains have almost disappeared. Even during peak winter, she was quite pain-free. She is about a decade or so younger to your mom, but if your mom is physically healthy, I dont think there is anything to stop her from swimming. First learning and then she can swim on her own.
