Think you can’t do yoga because you’re not young, fit, flexible, stable or strong enough? Think again! This class series is accessible to everyone regardless of age, strength or flexibility.
The intention of this program is to provide a safe virtual space for those new to yoga, or newly back to yoga, to explore the benefits of yoga in community with others just like you. Each class will be an exploration of empowered aging through strength, stability, and balance.
Options will be offered to allow everyone to practice safely; all movements will be done either seated in a chair or using a chair for stability as needed when standing is an option.
These longer themed classes on selected Saturdays feature a variety of teachers and themes. All workshops are suitable for beginners and include a spacious experience of slow movements into accessible yoga postures, gentle breathing practices, time for relaxation, and meditation.
