Everybody’s everyday yoga - anyone can practice this gentle form of yoga. You don’t have to be young, fit or supple. In any setting, individuals are guided to stretch and move within his/her own level of comfort. This non-competitive, restorative fitness practice can help to improve blood circulation, breathing, joint flexibility, posture, muscle tone and strength. A sense of alert relaxation generally follows. This is truly a “time-out” offering a break from the cares of the day, time to just be ourselves and feel energized, calm and focused.
