Yoga

Yoga practice was standardized throughout the study to avoid the risk of intervention variability. The basic structure of each yoga session is meditation, breathing exercises (pranayama), and after a warm-up, yoga practice includes asanas (postures) for strength, balance and mobility, and finally ends with relaxation. The yoga intervention we recommend was created within the framework of the asanas that the elderly can do in the literature and by taking the expert opinion of a sports physician.
