Study Finds Older Women Benefit From Yoga

(CBS 5) Researchers recently enrolled two dozen women over the age of 65 in a 9-week yoga program and found that – despite a lack of experience – the women found increased confidence in walking and balance after just a few weeks.

After practicing a specific style of yoga known as 'Iyengar,' women saw additional benefits such as a faster stride and the ability to stand on one leg.

Dr. Kim Mulvihill has more in her video report.
