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”. But maybe for years, your wife or female friends have been suggest- ing you how much you’d benefit from Yoga. This class is just for men over 55 who might be new to Yoga. You’ll be in the same boat as everyone else as you gradual- ly increase your flexibility. You’ll learn some breathing techniques that reduce stress. As the weeks progress, you might find that you’re less prone to injuries at work or during leisure, and that you recover faster from exertion. No class August 1. Instructor: Catherine Reid #10015 Mondays July 11 - August 22 Join Susan as she leads you through an hour of a slower moving practice incorporating relaxing breathing techniques that will promote a calm mind strength and flexibility. You will leave class with an overall sense of balance between the mind and body. Pre- vious experience is not required, all levels welcome.

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 better functioning organs. You may become calmer, and better able to focus: a gift in our world of constant distraction. Come home to your body in a profound and satisfying way. Prerequisite: At least one year of Yoga practice. Instructor: Catherine Reid #10014 Fridays July 8 - August 19 10:30 am - 12:00 pm Lewis MP Hall $91/7
