Class Description:
Yoga for Healthy Aging is geared towards those who would like to benefit from the gifts of gentle yoga. The physical benefits of gentle movements and postures are recognized, but yoga offers other benefits as well, through breathing and meditative techniques that can soothe the mind and, in turn, offer a broader sense of well-being.
The class will offer modifications to meet the needs of students, providing a strong, challenging but equally relaxed and meditative yoga practice.
Bring a yoga mat, some comfy clothes, and a sense of curiosity! Additional props such as chairs, blocks, straps, and foam mats will be available at the Fieldhouse.
