Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Reductions in executive function are common with age. Along with these declines come reductions in simple functional patterns of daily living such as crossing a street, walking in a crowded area, or performing any functions that occurs in an open (changing) environment. This study will use a newly developed yoga program incorporating multi-directional movements, cognitive challenges and visuomotor disturbances to improve executive function and associated movements in persons over 60 years of age.

Standard Yoga

Intervention Type OTHER

Yoga using standard poses and linear movements

Multi-directional Yoga

Intervention Type OTHER

The multidirectional yoga training program will use both simple and complex movement sequences (asana or postures) that include a cognitive component. For example, participants will be taught a movement sequence that includes 16-20 yoga postures that increase in difficulty as the training progresses.
