Have you ever regretted getting down on the floor to play with pets and/or grandchildren, wondering if you were ever getting up again? This five-session course incorporates yoga poses, exploratory “yoga-ish” strengthening exercises and functional movement work to increase your confidence and ability in moving through everyday activities. Methods to be better in tune with your body, such as brief meditations and breathwork, are also included. Bring a yoga mat (or let OLLI know you need to borrow one) and water bottle; wear comfortable flexible clothing.
