HATHA YOGA WITH SUSAN

55+ YOGA - GENTLE (55 years & over)

YIN YOGA: POWER IN STILLNESS Are you on a fast train? Ready to get off and breathe? In Yin Yoga, you will enter poses on the floor and stay a while, observing strong sensations, and breathing with awareness. The long-held, passive poses will help you become more flexible, with juicier joints and bet - ter functioning organs. You may become calmer, and better able to focus. Come home to your body in a profound and satisfying way. Prerequisite: At least one year of Yoga practice. No class Septem- ber 30, November 11 & Decem- ber 9. Instructor: Catherine Reid #10535 Fridays September 16 - December 16 10:15 - 11:45 am Native Sons Lower Level $143/11 YOGA FOR MEN OVER 55 (55 years & over) You’ve seen the pictures of wom - en in pretzel poses, and you’ve thought, “no Yoga for me, thanks”.
