Special Dossier : Stay young with yoga

In a certain way, we all want to stay young: young at heart, young in spirit and young on a physical level in terms of well-being and fitness. We can't stop the years, but with yoga and meditation you can actually feel young well into old age - but at the same time equipped with all the treasures of experience that only a lived life brings. "Staying young with yoga" is therefore the topic of our dossier this time. Among other things, there is a detailed photo series by Ronald Steiner with yoga exercises on the chair!
