Yoga 55+

“I should be doing yoga” is a familiar expression I often hear from folks who have reached the ripe and wonderful age of +55.  Whether or not you are suffering from arthritis, a chronic pain in your lower back, or simply experience a stiff body when you wake up in the morning ~ yoga may just be the thing for you!

On the surface level, yoga is a challenging, fun discipline that keeps the body fit.  It regulates the internal organs and balances the circulatory, respiratory, and hormonal systems.  Yoga alleviates stress, aids in the healing of physical injuries and illnesses, and helps to reclaim a general sense of well-being.

On a deeper level, practicing yoga also heightens the sense of emotional well-being.  By opening up the body in a physical way, many yoga students experience emotional release.  Some people remember hurts from long ago and are able to immediately process them, while others report spontaneous feelings of love or forgiveness.  All students express feeling an inner peace and relaxation.

Yoga 55+ is designed with modifications for everybody and every body.  The posture sequences are gentle but deliberate, always transitioning slowly and in a controlled manner.  Along with conscious breath awareness, concentration and meditation, you will learn what it means to be fully connected with body, mind and spirit.  

Whether you are new to yoga or prefer to practice with like-minded souls in a safe and welcoming environment ~ this yoga class for seniors will have you feeling limber, energized and full of life!
