Yoga for the elderly in Kathmandu, Nepal

A 51 year old Sherpa guide teaches yoga to the elderly in Kathmandu, Nepal

When you think of a yoga teacher, an image of a young, slender person comes to your mind. Dendi is the last one you would think of. This gentlemen in his 50ties is a yoga teacher, transforming the local community in Kathmandu, Nepal.

In the nearby Buddhist temple, this former Sherpa guide conducts classes for students whose average age is well over 60. The idea of helping the elderly to get in shape came to Dendi when his mother got ill and passed a few years ago. This life-changing event led him to be where he is now – in front of gentlemen and ladies (often in the traditional Sherpa dresses), teaching them breathing, yoga poses, and how to enjoy a healthy life as a senior. It works. The impromptu dance at the end of the class is the best proof of it.
