05 Jun Yoga for Flexibility in Your 60s: How Jan & Andrew Transformed Their Daily Life

At Warrior One Yoga, we believe yoga isn’t just about poses—it’s about real life. It’s about the quiet wins, the growing confidence, the shared laughter after class, and the ripple effect it creates daily. That’s why we’re sharing Jan and Andrew’s story—it beautifully captures how yoga for flexibility in your 60s can be about so much more than touching your toes.

It Started with a Stretch… and Became Something More

When Andrew first stepped into the studio, he had a simple goal: to become a little more flexible. “I just could never get beyond my knees to touch my toes,” he joked. But what happened next surprised both him and his wife, Jan.

“I came with him for support,” Jan shared. “I’ve always been more flexible, so I thought—why not? We’ll do this together.” That small choice to join in quickly turned into a new routine that brought them even closer, both physically and emotionally.

Two weeks in, Andrew walked into the kitchen and said, “Look what I can do.” He could touch the floor for the first time in decades. Jan’s response? “I was amazed. After 40 years of marriage, I’d never seen that!”

Building a Lifestyle, Not Just a Practice

At first, yoga was just something they tried once a week. Now, Jan and Andrew are practising three to five times weekly. “It’s part of our life now,” they say.

And that’s exactly what yoga for flexibility in your 60s can become: not just a tool for mobility, but a lifestyle that supports the things you love. For Andrew, that includes surfing. “I’ve surfed all my life. I’m an old man surfer now,” he laughs, “but I want to keep going—and yoga helps.”

More Than Movement

Every class has something unique. “Sometimes we learn a bit of philosophy, or hear a mantra or chant,” Andrew explains. “It’s all different—even with the same teacher.”

For Jan, that sense of discovery and emotional empowerment has been everything. “The first time I walked into Warrior One, I felt so uplifted. Like, wow—maybe I can actually do this.”

She recalls coming home from class one day, buzzing with energy. “I just felt so good. I didn’t think I could do it, but I did. And that feeling? It stays with you.”

That’s what makes yoga for flexibility in your 60s so powerful—it’s not about how far you bend. It’s about how strong, calm, and capable you feel long after class is over.
