Description

No class October 8

This class is designed for seniors or those just getting back into exercise. This is yoga with the option of the support of a chair. Using support, you can safely improve your balance; strengthen and gain flexibility in the legs, arms and back and improve circulation and digestion. It is a class which requires effort but within each individual’s ability.

You can practice every yoga posture seated in a chair or standing, which makes this class ideal for beginners, those suffering from arthritis, osteoporosis, back or neck pain, sleep disorders, high blood pressure (treated by medication), diabetes or general weakness. This class, like any other yoga class, increases mental focus and decreases stress.
