Course overview
Course description
Each week there is a simple, step by step guided practice where we work on a variety of postures which are modified and adapted to suit individual needs. The practices and techniques include slow, gentle, straightforward movements; breathing and relaxation techniques helping you to feel confident with movement in and outside of the online class. There is time before and after each class for questions and answers; opportunities to clarify teaching points and to provide further explanations and demonstrations.
Yoga will help to improve posture; create better balance; increase your range of movement; make you stronger; refine your co-ordination and alleviate stress and anxiety often experienced with low bone density and osteoporosis.
It is important to listen to your body and not to ignore painful warning signs and to observe instructions on safety and / or technique at all times.
Please wear loose, comfortable clothing.
