Winter Yoga Classes 2023
MONDAY
Yoga for Men over 55
7:15 – 8:30 p.m. | January 9 - March 27
You’ve seen the pictures of women in pretzel poses, and you’ve thought, “No Yoga for me, thanks.” But maybe for years, your wife or female friends have been telling you how much you’d benefit from Yoga. This class is just for men over 55 who are new to Yoga. You’ll gradually increase your flexibility as well as learn some breathing techniques that reduce stress. As the weeks progress, you might find that you’re less prone to injuries at work or at leisure, and that you recover faster from exertion.
