Yoga for Elders & Elders to Be
who's it for? Those who carry a lifetime of wisdom in their bones & in their cells, and would like a slower paced class. Beginners Welcome.
Thursdays @ 1:30-2:45pm
In this class, we explore how to:
- create mobility and stability in the body and mind
- build up our strength and stamina
- and quiet the brain even when the body is active.
And we do all that with lots of joy and laughter. You don't need to be an elder to join this class. Elders in training are welcome as well.
Registration opens Sunday 12/21

When you pay more, you support community. When you pay less, you are held by community. Riverwest Yogashala's blessings fund supports teachers & students, so we can learn and practice yoga together beyond one-price-fits-all. Trust that the amount you choose is right for this moment.
