Longevity and Yoga

This program is part of The Longevity Reset Symposium, February 24-27, 2027 

As modern science continues to explore the keys to healthy aging, yoga is emerging as one of the most powerful and accessible tools for supporting both longevity and vitality. In this illuminating program, physician and longtime yoga teacher Baxter Bell explores how yoga can help us not only live longer, but live better.

Drawing from both ancient yogic wisdom and current scientific research, these sessions will examine how yoga practices support physical health, emotional resilience, cognitive function, stress reduction, and overall well-being throughout the aging process. Special attention will also be given to the fascinating field of epigenetics—the science showing how lifestyle practices such as yoga, meditation, breathwork, sleep, and stress management can influence the expression of our genes, activating healthier responses while reducing patterns linked to disease and aging.

Accessible to practitioners of all levels, this program offers practical insights into how simple, sustainable yogic tools can enhance both lifespan and “healthspan”—the quality, vitality, and fulfillment we experience as we age.

Participants will explore:

• The growing scientific evidence linking yoga and healthy aging
• How yoga supports resilience, mobility, emotional balance, and brain health
• The role of stress reduction and nervous system regulation in longevity
• How epigenetics reveals the impact of lifestyle on gene expression
• Practical yogic tools that support vitality, well-being, and quality of life at every age

Discover how yoga can become a lifelong ally for vibrant health, inner balance, and graceful aging.
