Senior Warriors
By Leslie Kazadi on Sep 26, 2016
Old age ain't for sissies - and neither is this seniors yoga class. We keep it simple and take it slow as we use props to strengthen the shoulders and open the chest. We modify "fierce" pose, aka chair, to give feedback and build more strength so that you will feel absolutely fierce in warrior 1, gracefully stepping up your practice as you step into your strength. This is a great session to reduce poor posture and build your vitality!

Moving into Grace
By Leslie Kazadi on Jul 13, 2016
This class is designed for older adults and it's also great for anyone who wants a simple - not easy! - practice to improve balance. Moving with balance and grace is also simple but not easy. Feel the fluidity and grace of your breath. Find the inner poise and calm of a smooth steady breath. And know that with practice, moving on the breath will give you a greater sense of balance, poise and grace. Acknowledge that balancing poses are hard and be gentle with yourself - this is the true meaning of grace!
