There is a solution for improving the body changes that come with aging. Healthy aging requires one to systematically stretch and condition muscles that will protect the aging joints.

Vicky Willis, a certified Yoga instructor and OLLI’s Yoga guru, will lead participants in the slow, exact movements practiced in Yoga that will enhance strength, eliminate joint stiffness, restore flexibility and range of motion, improve agility, and improve balance. These key areas - strength, flexibility, agility and balance - are the foundations of healthy living and living without the morning shuffle of pain and stiffness.

  • This class will meet in person at the new OLLI offices, located at 481 S. Shiloh Drive, Fayetteville, AR 72704. Please read your class reminder email for the exact room location.

    Class changes occasionally happen, please watch for (and read) announcements or emails from OLLI regarding your class.
