Spalding County Senior Center has launched Fifty Forward Yoga, a weekly program designed to help older adults nurture strength, balance, flexibility, and relaxation. Located in Griffin, the center’s initiative aims to offer a supportive setting for adults aged 50 and older to explore the benefits of yoga.

Led by Syracuse University’s Department of Exercise Science, the study indicates that basic strength exercises could be a practical solution to maintaining nerve health in aging populations.
