Keeping our bodies active is equally as important as keeping our minds active. Yoga helps us maintain strength, flexibility, balance and endurance. It keeps our muscles toned and our breathing strong. It increases our energy and our mental clarity, and improves our posture. And it helps us gain strength and balance for everyday activities such as reaching, lifting, walking, and climbing stairs. The meditative aspect of yoga also helps us reduce the stress in our everyday lives.
Yoga can also be easily adapted to all levels of physical and cognitive ability. Our instructors have specialized yoga training for senior adults and people with disabilities. Our programs are designed to use safe, gentle, uncomplicated movements, so no previous experience is necessary. We also teach seated classes so people who use walkers or wheelchairs can participate.
We ask that yoga mats and chairs be provided by your organization. Armless chairs work best. Contact us for information on where to buy inexpensive mats (mats are not needed for seated classes).
All programs are available in-person or by video
All programs can also be done outdoors in nice weather or with overhead cover
