You can remain strong and flexible at any age with a regular program of Pilates and Yoga -- both serve to strengthen and lengthen all your muscles -- and all mind /body exercises help reduce stress which gives you a overall feeling of well-being. The Gentle Yoga, and Chair Yoga is especially designed for those who have not opened their bodies in years and now realize the need to do so. These classes are doable for everyone - and everyone comes away feeling refreshed and energized but relaxed - in both body and mind and spirit.
 For those with tender joints that are painful when on hands and knees, sitting in a chair protects the joints while the yoga poses strengthen and lengthen your muscles. The chair also provides assistance while standing in balancing poses. Improve your range of motion, your balance and your strength in a class that is doable for all. You will laugh and learn and heal and de-stress in each and every class.
No matter what your age, your size, your fitness level, Yoga will transform your life in positive ways. Yoga is not an exercise class but a practice, a journey into discovering who you are.
A regular Yoga practice becomes a self-discovery - of where you hold tightness in your body and where you hold on to beliefs that no longer serve you. |
