Abstract

A health promotion program called Easy Does It Yoga for Older People has been implemented and evaluated at senior centers, congregate living facilities, and other community sites. This program was implemented and evaluated, for the first time, at nursing homes. An analysis of variance did not support the three research hypotheses: treatment group members will improve their ability for self-care, increase sociability, and reduce medication usage in comparison to control group members. A retrospective analysis on a subgroup of top achievers, along with programmatic observations, are reported on for administrators, practitioners, and researchers interested in health promotion for the frail elderly.
