ABSTRACT
Frailty represents diminished reserve across multiple physiologic systems, accompanied by increased vulnerability to stressors and increased morbidity and mortality. With population aging, strategies to prevent and manage frailty are priorities in clinical medicine and public health. Current evidence-based approaches to frailty management are multimodal in nature. Yoga, an increasingly popular and highly adaptable mind-body practice, is multi-component, incorporating physical postures, breathing practices, meditation, and other elements, and may be a strategy for frailty management. Here, we summarize the evidence linking yoga practice to mitigation of age-related degradation across multiple physiologic systems, including cardiovascular, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, and nervous systems. We discuss putative mechanisms of action including modulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Finally, we consider implications for clinical practice and future research.
