Anonymous asked:
Is it ageist to have a yoga class labeled "Yoga for Healthy Aging" or "Yoga for over 50"?
yoisthisageist answered:
“Yoga for Health” would be a better choice. Everyone is aging.
As for “Yoga for Over 50,” it’s ageist for the same reason that it would be racist to separate students by race. Many older people have beautiful yoga practices because they’ve been doing it for so long. It would be more sensible, and more inclusive, for the studio to organize classes according to skill level instead. Age-integrated classes also help dismantle ageism and ableism, because they debunk stereotypes about older people’s physical capacities.
