Yoga for active seniors
Taking you on a journey from warriors to to the tops of mountains – and tossing in a few lunges just for fun. These classes are designed for anyone who loves yoga and strength, but hates getting down on the floor or taking off their shoes. Stick with this series to improve balance and strengthen all those muscles that help prevent falls. And don’t forget to laugh with us along the way!
Before we start, grab a sturdy chair with a back, but no arms. A yoga block is helpful, but if you don’t have that, a thick book will do. And don’t forget your water!
Yoga for Hip Strength
A one-hour, chair assisted practice for hip strength that moves from seated shoulder and neck stretches to prayer squats, Warrior series, hip isolations, supported stork pose twist, hamstring stretch, and finishing with a seated meditation anchored in the breath. Grab a glider and a block for this one!
