Sure. Archana R Gomati Woli Rachna Rashika K Priya K can take laughter yoga sessions.

It would be great to do a few min of Laughter Yoga in some group sessions too!

Every January we promise ourselves a healthier year, and by February most of those promises quietly fade.

As the New Year begins, many of us feel inspired to reset our health, energy, and routines. But real life does not pause for resolutions. Work, family, travel, stress, and low-energy days still show up.

That is why instead of rigid goals, this year we are inviting you to focus on yoga intentions.

Intentions shift the question from “Did I do enough?” to “Did my practice support me today?”

In this new article, we explore why most New Year yoga resolutions fade, and how setting gentle, realistic intentions can help you build a practice that actually lasts through 2026.

We recently conducted a Laughter Yoga session for children at a local school. It was a heartwarming reminder of yoga’s deeper purpose of cultivating joy, mindfulness, and emotional well-being.

Watching children discover laughter as a form of meditation was both inspiring and grounding. It reaffirmed how yoga, in all its forms, helps us reconnect with simplicity and happiness.

A heartfelt thank you to our teacher Rachna who led the session with compassion and energy.

Kanupriya: I agree with all that you said, except “age is just a number.” Clearly, you are still young! I was always active, vibrant, positive, and hopeful until age descended upon me, (in my 60’s) and my body rebelled against many previous activities. Now, at nearly 77, I have many aches and pains that have come from aging, and I don’t have the positivity I had in my youth. It takes work, focus and mindfulness to reach contentment these days. Thankfully, I have yoga to carry me through that process, while I continue to navigate unexpected aches and pains.

I had a good time too. Where can I see the pictures, videos from the event?

I began my yoga journey nearly 7 years ago, when I had just turned 70. It has been soooo influential in my life for physical improvement, healing through 5 knee surgeries, and emotional, spiritual and mental balance. The camaraderie within MYT has also been a blessing during these dis-connected times in the world. You are beginning a beautiful and rewarding journey. Congratulations, and be delighted!

Hii Liza,
Please be assured — 60 is a beautiful age to start yoga. It is absolutely not too late. Yoga is not about being flexible first; flexibility is something that develops with practice. That’s why it is said Yoga is for Everyone.

I understand that fear and nervousness that comes so I’d love to share some beautiful experiences:
I currently teach students aged 61, 64, and even 76, and they’ve been practicing with me for the past one year. They all started with limited flexibility, joint pain and discomfort and some fear of course, but today they enjoy better balance, strength, mobility, and confidence in daily life.

With proper guidance, yoga is done gently, safely, and with modifications, so there’s no need to worry about hurting yourself. At this stage of life, yoga becomes especially valuable for balance, joint health, and overall well-being.

If you’re starting yoga at 60, you’re not late — you’re right on time.

Liza Cooper
Age is just a number—you can begin yoga at any stage of life, whether you’re flexible or not. Yoga isn’t about achieving extreme poses or being naturally flexible; it’s about relaxing the muscles, joints, and body, and most importantly, calming the mind. Your experience depends greatly on how the teacher guides you through the journey, helping you gradually build strength, mobility, and ease in movement.

I started yoga at 64. It has been a year now. My knee pain and back pain is gone. I believe age is not a barrier

I was 67. It improved my mobility, flexibility, and stability greatly. It even helped my feet. There is yoga for all ages and levels and I highly recommend it!
