OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of yoga on successful aging based on the selection, optimization, and compensation model in elderly women. DESIGN: Quasi-experimental study. SAMPLE: Seniors' meeting points and parks and clubs for the old age pensioners of the ministry of education, ministry of healthcare, and the oil corporation in Shiraz, Iran. 68 elderly women within the age range of 60-86 years were divided into a yoga and a control group. MEASUREMENTS: The subjects in both groups were asked to complete the selection, optimization, and compensation model questionnaire before and after the intervention. Successful aging was measured using the selection, optimization, and compensation questionnaire. INTERVENTION: The yoga training program was implemented in 1-h sessions twice a week for eight weeks. RESULTS: After eight weeks of yoga training, the results showed a significant difference between the pretest and posttest successful aging total scores of the yoga group (P = .005). However, the difference between the yoga and control groups' posttest mean total scores was not significant (P = .601). CONCLUSION: Based on the results, it seems that yoga training can improve successful aging. Thus, yoga is recommended as an inexpensive and entertaining method.
