About This Podcast

Yoga for Longevity is your go-to podcast for understanding the how and why behind yoga, mobility, mindfulness, and healthy aging. We explore the science and real-life application of therapeutic yoga (including gentle yoga, alignment-based yoga, Hatha yoga, chair yoga, functional movement, and other adaptable approaches to support your body) so you can build strength, flexibility, and balance at any age. You’ll discover how posture, bone health, joint health, fall prevention, balance, and mindful strength over 50 connect to your long-term vitality, and how breathwork, meditation, and stress relief techniques support your nervous system and mind-body connection. Hosted by yoga therapist Mikah Horn, this show blends research, lived experience, and practical insights so you can confidently move better, feel better, and age well with strength and intention. This podcast is for you if you're asking questions such as: What exactly is yoga and how can it help me as I age? What’s the best type of yoga for beginners over 50? Do I need to be flexible to start yoga? How often should I practice yoga? Can yoga help reduce stress? What are the benefits of yoga for older adults? How does yoga improve balance and reduce falls?
