Jane Fonda, Helen Mirren, and Madonna are all 60+ and swear by yogaYoga isn’t just for the young and bendy—it’s your secret super-power!
It keeps us flexible, strong, and balanced (literally and emotionally). Think fewer aches, better posture, and even a lower risk of falls.
Plus, it’s great for your heart, your joints, and that stiff back after gardening or a long Netflix binge.
Mentally, yoga helps you stay sharp and sleep better.
And emotionally? It’s a built-in stress reliever. It develops a quiet mind, helps encourage deep and smooth breathing, and overall makes life feels a little more manageable.
Need more inspiration to keep going?

Not bad company, right?
A good yoga teacher makes all the difference— she’ll guide you safely, offer modifications, and cheer you on as you discover what your body can do.
It’s never too late to roll out the mat and feel amazing.

Yogic wisdom talks of siddhis, or sanskrit for “accomplishments” or “supernatural powers” that can be developed with rigorous spiritual practice.
These powers are thought of a sort of side-effect (if you care to believe this) of advanced meditation, breath control, asna and other physical austerities (such as sleep control, abstention from food, retention of the vital body energies) and spiritual practice. But the “powers” were never the end goal - just a by-product.
They are detailed in various yogic texts. Here is a list of some of some of the most “powerful”.
Anima or the ability to shrink to the size of an atom. IMO this is how I feel when I am in the pause between the inhale and the exhale - I have a sense of disappearing. Sounds whacky? Try it!
Mahima or the ability to expand one’s body to an infinite size. Again, for me – the pause between the inhale and exhale. I feel like a “filled pot in the ocean”.
Laghima or the ability to become weightless and levitate – IMO in the modern era, Ozempic may get you there faster.
There are five more yogic superpowers and if you want to know what they are – comment below and I will post them.
Have a great week and see you on the mat friends!
