What do I wear/bring? Wear loose comfortable clothing that you can move freely in. Whatever you feel good in. If you have a yoga mat, bring it. If not, we will have mats for purchase at sale price or you can bring a beach towel. Be sure to bring water- hydration is always key to your health!

Why yoga? When some people think of yoga, they imagine having to stretch like a gymnast. That makes them worry that they’re too old, unfit, or “tight” to do yoga. The truth is you’re never too old to improve flexibility. Yoga works through a series of poses called asanas that safely stretch your muscles. This releases the lactic acid that builds up with muscle use and causes stiffness, tension, pain, and fatigue. In addition, yoga increases the range of motion in joints. It may also increase lubrication in the joints. The outcome is a sense of ease and fluidity throughout your body. Yoga also increases strength, breathing, endurance, and lung capacity. It also decreases heart disease, stress, cholesterol, and high blood pressure.

With all of these benefits, there is no reason why you shouldn’t come give the Yoga Class a try!
