Aging With Ease Yoga With Chris Howe
2nd Tuesdays at 10:30am from September 2019 – June 2020
Yoga is for the body you have today, not the one you had yesterday or the one you’re going to have tomorrow. So begin your practice with what you have. In this introductory class, we will build a gentle practice, guided by the breath, that will release, strengthen and stretch the body. Explore alignment supported by a chair both seated and standing and experience the balance between effort and ease and how this may impact the state of balance in broader areas of our lives. This class is welcoming and accessible to all.
