Yoga is inclusive for all stages of life and every body
Yoga is for Everyone
Our classes are geared toward young adults through Seniors. Unfortunately we do not currently have a children’s class.
Starting yoga as an adult is one of the best practices to maintain one’s health. Regular practice can help prevent future problems because the yoga postures done with attention to the breath improve the functioning of all the systems of the body. The inverted poses, headstand (sirsasana) and shoulderstand (sarvangasana) are especially key in this regard. When you feel well physically, you can better handle the stresses of life.
Even as the body ages, yoga can be practiced to maintain as long as possible, one’s strength and flexibility to enable one to function well in daily life. It is never too late to start! In our Yoga for Seniors class the age range is from 50s to 80s. In this class as well as our Level I and Level 1-2 classes all are welcome. Our instructors know how to modify the poses when students need more support.
