Then join us for Yoga!
Whether you want to become stronger or more flexible, or you want to unwind, quiet your mind and let go, our yoga classes offer a range of health and wellness benefits. Yoga is a practice that cultivates a mind-body connection by correlating stretching and strengthening postures with conscious breathing techniques. It is an excellent way to keep your body active and healthy without joint stress.
You can get many benefits from practicing yoga, such as better balance and flexibility; many yoga poses focus on strengthening your core muscles to help you become steadier on your feet—reducing the risk of falls. Reduced anxiety and stress through meditation and mindful breathing are outcomes often enjoyed by our yoga participants .
