The purpose of this study is to examine whether muscle strength and balance will improve in women with frailty selected for dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) levels below 550 ng/dl treated with DHEAS supplementation and Hatha yoga. Investigators believe the effects of both treatments will improve outcomes more than either treatment alone and may be additive; in addition, lean body mass, skeletal muscle mass, markers of bone turnover and physical performance will improve following treatment with DHEA and/or yoga.
