Yoga offers a holistic approach to managing geriatric syndromes such as frailty, falls, cognitive decline, insomnia, and chronic pain. Evidence suggests that tailored yoga interventions can improve balance, flexibility, muscle strength, and proprioception in older adults. Breathing exercises and mindfulness components help reduce anxiety, enhance mood, and support cognitive function. Gentle, adaptive yoga styles are particularly suitable for elderly patients with limited mobility or multiple comorbidities. For clinicians, integrating yoga as a complementary therapy can enhance the quality of life and functional independence in older adults, with minimal risk when appropriately supervised.
