Gentle Yoga

01/19/2018 @ 12:00 pm - 01:15 pm
RSY Surya Room

Gentle Yoga is a supportive, unhurried practice designed to open the heart and rejuvenate the entire body. Emphasis is on loosening and strengthening the body gradually through a flow of gentle stretches and poses. A delight for those newer to yoga or anyone looking for a less vigorous, more soothing and restorative experience, this class focuses on:

  • Breathing and relaxation practices that reduce stress and quiet the mind
  • Simple stretches and rhythmic exercises to warm-up the body
  • Foundational yoga postures—gently moving into and out of a variety of poses and how to adapt poses to your abilities
