will then be evaluated using standard cognitive testing devices.
Reductions in executive function are common with age. Along with these declines come
reductions in simple functional patterns of daily living such as crossing a street, walking

This study will use a newly developed yoga program incorporating multi-directional movements,
cognitive challenges and visuomotor disturbances to improve executive function and associated
movements in persons over 60 years of age.
