The 57-year-old credits the latest fitness craze with “saving my life.”

“As I get older, I find that cardio is less important to me,” she said.

“What I want to do more of is intense stretching. I’m not worried about injuring myself because a regular yoga instructor isn’t versed in the way of the body like a trained physio [instructor] is.”

In physioyoga, practitioners do a number of moves that combine yoga with physical therapy in a way that is meant to both heal and prevent injuries, New York-based yogi Diana Zotos told the New York Daily News.

“When I meet someone for the first time, I do a physical therapy evaluation,” Zotos said. “Then we customize a yoga program around that. It targets deficits, will strengthen muscles that are weak and stretch muscles that are tight, while focusing on the core.”
