Thursdays 4:00-5:00pm Eastern
Taught by Gentle Yogis Staff
Soothe your soul – find peace and power in subtle and slow
Beginners welcome. Our gentle mat classes are appropriate for those looking for a yoga experience that includes standing, sitting on the floor, and lying-down.
Join us in a 60 minute Dynamic Gentle Yoga experience during which you will be guided through gentle but engaging warm ups and postures, then finish with relaxation. The class will be guided with variations, options and the use of typical yoga tools (blocks, strap, cushions, blanket) to ensure accessibility and safe exploration for all.
Gather these tools ahead of time to use during the class:
- Yoga strap (substitutes: men’s necktie, bathrobe belt, long neck scarf)
- Two yoga blocks (substitutes: 2 stacks of books bound together or small stool)
- Cushion(s), pillow(s) or folded blanket(s)
- Optional: Eye pillow and/or blanket for relaxation

Rudy, you are simply THE BEST! Thursday Mat Yoga is definitely becoming a must-attend practice. The benefit I felt this evening on Zoom was as good as attending your workshop in person, if anything it's more intimate. Your class loosened all my joints and I feel so much better. I really appreciate your focus on balancing practices for part of the class. You build such a solid warrior pose that balancing was easy and your cueing of the tree pose was outstanding.
