Not all aging is accompanied by morbidities. The idea of aging permeates the imaginary of each one, based on the different experiences of life. This study aims to investigate reinvention in aging by insertion into the body and integrative practices. The sample was composed by a group of participants that integrate a house of integrative and complementary practices, located in the city of Rio de Janeiro, RJ. We used the technique of participant observation, which occurred from February to August 2017, with the application of semi-structured interviews, with participants who maintained a frequency of 2 to 3 times a week in the service. In the study sample (n = 20), the age ranged from 60 to 87 years, with a predominance of females (85%), which were linked to handicraft, balance, conversation, Tai chi Chuan and Qi gong groups. In the analysis of the data we apply the technique of Content Analysis (CA). Research has shown that this group of people has been seeking new ways of living and relating, driven towards engaging aging and motivating options. He pointed out examples of (re) invention, demonstrating that the corporal and integrative practices brought to the individual quality of life and conscious choices, showed that the exchange that is established in the coexistence favors not only the learning, but also the unveiling of choices that enable the exercise of an everyday life re-signified with greater autonomy.
