Health & Wellbeing   

Spring Yoga II unites a gentle morning yoga practice with meditation & breathing practices. This class will open the body, mind and spirit as the great mother awakens in spring. Learn how our alignment with nature brings increased health and well-being.

This class is a continuation of Chair yoga I, but new students are welcome to join. Chair yoga is designed for students who have physical limitations preventing them from participating in a standard class. During our six-week class together, you will learn sequences to open and align the body from a seated position that you can make part of your daily routine. We will also explore meditation and breathing practices that decrease anxiety and generate a positive connection to the body.

In this course, we will discuss the struggles that often accompany growing older, and how to cope effectively with them. We will consider the physical and cognitive changes that can develop, the various losses that are common with aging, and the effects of society’s attitudes toward older people. We will also emphasize the importance of maintaining autonomy and reimagining one’s purpose in later life. Each session will include a presentation and class discussion.

In this six-session workshop, participants will explore the power of gratitude and the beauty of personal and cultural traditions. Through guided reflection, storytelling, creative activities, and group discussion, we’ll share memories, honor meaningful rituals, and discover new ways to practice gratitude in daily life. This series offers a supportive space to connect, create, and celebrate the stories that make us who we are.
