In this class, we explore a variety of practices, including:
• Chair, standing, and mat yoga poses (Asanas)
• Restorative yoga and Yoga Nidra
• Breathing techniques and chakra balancing
• Meditation and cultivating inner harmony
• Healthy eating and other wellness topics of interest to the group
Multiple studies show that yoga can support healthy aging by
improving mobility, balance, and mental well-being, while helping
prevent cognitive decline. Yoga may also increase flexibility, strength,
posture, and stress resilience.
This group is all-inclusive and welcomes everyone — from
beginners to more experienced practitioners. Modifications are
offered.

us to relax, restore, and connect.
YOGA WELLNESS
In March, the class took an outing to Beverly Crowe's backyard to experience painting in "en plein air," or the act of painting
landscapes directly outdoors to capture immediate light, color and atmosphere, a key to the 19th century impressionistic movement.
Some painted scenes from the surroundings, and some continued with paintings already started in previous classes. It was a nice way
to enjoy the outdoors, have a glass of wine and appetizers and converse in a more intimate setting.
