Gentle/Restorative Yoga Classes

The Gentle/Restorative classes are suitable for Seniors as well as all levels of students, particularly for those recovering from illness or injury or at a stage in life where a gentle yoga class is more suitable. Highly recommended for pre-natal and post natal students too.

More and more doctors, surgeons, physiotherapists, osteopaths and other health professionals are referring their patients to yoga as an alternative to drugs and ongoing treatments.  Many students find that their visits to physiotherapists and the like are greatly decreased once they commence a regular yoga class – and that’s just doing 1 class per week!  Seniors can also greatly benefit from a gentle yoga class.  Gentle movement keeps the body “alive” and active so that seniors feel better able to do the things they really enjoy in life like gardening, playing sport or golf, playing with grandchildren, even just getting out of bed with ease in the mornings. Yoga has so many benefits and is suitable for everyone and every “body” regardless of age or state of health. Flexibility is NOT required to do yoga.
