Gentle Years Yoga Class

My Gentle Years Yoga Class is a chair based yoga class suitable for anyone who wishes to or needs to take their yoga practice a little more gently. This can include people with age related health conditions, those recovering from an injury or health conditions that require a yoga practice that is modified.

Gentle Years Yoga is an authentic traditional Hatha yoga practice that has been modified to be chair based, making it ideal for older people or those with restricted movement.  A 60 minute yoga class will include breathing exercises, full body mobilisation, pulse raising activities, concentration activities, co-ordination activities, balance improvement exercises, resistance work, modified yoga postures and a relaxation. It is suitable for all and can be adapted for anyone looking for Gentle Years Yoga classes.

One of the key aims of Gentle Years Yoga is to maintain and improve activities of daily living. I always ensure that every session includes sitting to standing exercises to build strength in the legs. Balance practice is always included to help improve and maintain balance into older age. I have witnessed some fantastic improvements in attendees leg strength and balance.

We explore elements of yoga philosophy, breathing exercises and guided relaxations. I have a very friendly group of yoga students - we get to know each other and it is a great opportunity to make some new friends.

Every Thursday 10.30am-11.30am at The Studio, Maxwell Place, Langholm, DG13 0DX
