Autumn Yoga Classes 2023
Chair Yoga
10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. | September 5 - December 12
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

FRIDAY
Yin / Restorative Yoga
10 – 11:30 a.m. | September 15 - December 15
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

“Why am I so tired?”
“Am I actually losing muscle tone?”
“Why am I as moody as a teenager?”
If you’re experiencing these sorts of puzzling changes, you could be starting perimenopause. You might be thinking, “I’m too young to be starting that!” The fact is, if your hormones are playing havoc with your life, Yoga can help. This class will offer support for insomnia, fatigue, mood swings, and fuzzy thinking. Also, one of Yoga’s many gifts is the ability to build strength, even on days when you might be too tired for a cardiovascular workout. Let this nourishing class ease you through this challenging transition.
