No! At triyoga, people of all ages practise, from kids to senior men + women. You cannot be too old to start or practise yoga. It can be taken up at any time of life. Yoga is an excellent way for seniors to enjoy the physical benefits, the social aspect of attending class, and the general sense of wellbeing yoga gives you. Whatever age you are, the best way to start yoga is with a Beginners Course. If this is not possible, you can attend the gentler classes ( Level 1 or Open Level classes ), where teachers can guide beginners through the fundamentals. There are also a number of Yoga Gently + Restorative classes as well as a weekly 'Never-Too-Late' yoga class, which is specifically for more senior people to learn + practise yoga together.

No. People with every kind of different religious and atheist beliefs practice yoga. The physical and psychological benefits of yoga are real + aren’t dependant upon race, religion or gender. Nor do they depend on chanting Om - but it’s a nice thing to do. Your relationship with your practice is a personal + unique thing. Some people's yoga is a deeply spiritual practice. Whether you are honouring your God or Higher Power, honouring your body, getting fit or losing weight, de-stressing or just having fun, yoga is for everyone + brings all kinds of people together.
