Gentle Yoga for Senior Citizens

We have a great time at our gentle yoga class. Here are a few tips for teaching gentle yoga.

Adaptive Positions: Always have alternative positions to adapt for injuries
Slowly: Transition between asanas at a slower rate than normal to ensure injuries don't occur.
Smile! Enjoy your stretches and positions.
Props: Use straps, blocks and blankets for knee padding or yoga mini mat which we sell. Contact: angieholzer@gmail.com if you're interested.

This is a great class!
