We are excited to launch a new program this Fall, Yoga For Better Bone Health! Bone health is a popular topic of conversation among aging adults and presents significant challenges and concerns for many of us. The style of yoga we practice blends weight-bearing, isometric contractions, balance, and strength challenges without high impact on the skeletal structure. When practiced regularly and mindfully, yoga has the potential to build and rebuild better bones.

Special Focus: Saturday, October 17th
10:30am - 1:00pm
Open to all
Cost: Special Focus $120

Mini Series: Wednesdays, 1:30pm - 2:30pm
October 23, 28, and November 4, 11
Prerequisite: Special Focus
Special Focus plus Mini-Series $295 ($320 after Oct. 17)

This new program has two parts and will be offered in 5-week recurring cycles.
Contact the front desk to sign up.

Summer is full of extra activities, travel, and events. While these are fun and special, they disrupt our normal routines and can add to everyday stress. This stress builds up in our bodies without us even realizing. This build-up of stress activates the sympathetic nervous system (the fight or flight state) and increases cortisol levels. The body responds by bracing or tightening, often in the chest and abdomen, making sleep difficult and creating feelings of being scattered or irritable. When cortisol levels remain high at night, our bodies are not able to be in repair mode – our healing and digestion are impeded. Restorative yoga offers the body time to relax, rest, reconnect, and shift the parasympathetic nervous system (the rest and digest state) to be more dominant. Restorative yoga guides you in finding physical comfort in a quiet, safe, and warm environment; everything you need for your nervous system to downshift.
