Description: Slow Yoga is a moderate paced class that’s adaptable to all levels of practice. Each class is theme based, i.e. opening hips, working core muscles, etc. The class begins with ample warm ups leading into the theme du jour and ending with release work and rest. Props will be used, so it’s advisable that each student have a mat, a strap, 2 yoga blocks and a blanket. The Senior Center has some props, except blankets. It’s nice to have one’s own yoga kit as it’s a big part of one’s yoga practice. Look forward to seeing you in class.
