Physical and functional benefits of the practice: 1) Increased flexibility and mobility: Helps with age-related joint stiffness and muscle shortening. 2) Fall prevention: Improves balance, coordination, and strength in the legs and abdomen, increasing stability. 3) Relief from chronic pain: Relieves lower back and joint pain, making it helpful for people with arthritis. 4) Cardiovascular health: Contributes to lowering blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels. It also improves circulation.

Increase feelings of security by strengthening the body, leading to physical independence and maintaining daily autonomy. Adaptability for people with limited mobility is important for: 1) Physical Accessibility: To mitigate limited mobility due to joint stiffness or physical limitations and improve range of motion, assistive devices such as chairs, canes, or straps are used, allowing individuals to get the most out of every exercise. 2) Safety and Prevention: By adapting postures to joint and muscle limitations, the risk of falls and injuries, which are common in old age, is drastically reduced.
