Gentle Yoga
Class-Art for Heart | Please call/email to schedule a lesson day/time
Research has shown that yoga for seniors has numerous physical and psychological benefits, including improving cardiovascular health, reducing anxiety and depression; and improving functional fitness. Gentle Yoga is non-strenuous, less intense, meditative, and restorative. A gentle yoga class usually involves extra warm-up movements, poses that are held for longer a period of time; and modifications to help people of all fitness levels enjoy the benefits of yoga without risking injury. In addition, gentle yoga classes typically emphasize stretching, seated poses; and very low-impact movements.
