Winter Yoga Classes 2024
Chair Yoga
10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. | January 9 - March 26
For those who cannot get up and down from the floor easily. There’s still a lot of Yoga that can be done in a chair. Special breathing practices, gentle joint movements, and muscle strengthening will all take place in this fun class. We also do some poses while standing, using the chair for support.
Location: Native Sons Hall
Register with Courtenay Recreation via 250-338-5371.
FRIDAY
Yin / Restorative Yoga
10:00 – 11:30 a.m. | January 12 – March 22
Both of these styles of Yoga are quiet, floor-based practices. Both provide deep benefits to your body and require a willingness to pause and breathe - in stillness. Yin Yoga stimulates harder tissues in the body, and can sometimes create strong sensations for you to navigate; Restorative Yoga is just deeply relaxing. In this series, we will alternate between them: one week will be Yin, the next week will be Restorative - the best of both worlds.
Prerequisite: At least one year of Yoga Experience.
Location: Native Sons Hall, Lower Level

WEDNESDAY
Yoga for Gardeners
3:45 – 5:00 p.m. | April 3 - May 22
If you love gardening, this is the time of year your muscles might complain as you bend, dig, plant and haul. The more decades you’ve spent here on the home planet, the louder those complaints! Yoga can help. You’ll learn a few warm-ups to do before heading outside, and some stretches to do while playing in the dirt. Lastly, cool-downs for when you know it’s time to finish for the day.
