The practice of yoga asanas (postures) may be an optimal method of preserving or enhancing physical function\n \n\n\n \n \nnot been well studied. The Yoga Empowers Seniors Study (YESS) is an intervention development study that created\ntwo senior-adapted series of asanas targeted for an ambulatory older population. YESS is using biomechanics\nand physical performance tests to acquire information about the physical demands placed on the muscles and\njoints by the asanas and the functional performance adaptations resulting from the yoga practice. This manuscript\n \n \nparticipants had physical limitations. This presentation will enable the yoga research and teaching communities to\ninterpret the biomechanics, physical performance and side effects outcomes of YESS.
