简要总结
Insomnia is common in the elderly population and is associated with increased health problems, reduced quality of life and greater use of sleep inducing drugs. This research aims to examine the effectiveness of Yoga practice to treat insomnia in elderly people, determine the ability to enhance their quality of life and determine if it is suitable to western culture and conditions.

Objectives:
- Examine effectiveness of yoga for insomnia and reduction in use of hypnotics/relaxants in the elderly;
