Love the benefits of yoga, but find getting started a little intimidating? Your Community Senior Center wants to help. Are you interested in an introductory class that would meet at the Richmond Library's community room on six Saturday mornings from 8:30 to 9:45 starting October 29th. The price for each class on a drop-in basis is $10; package price for all six classes is $48. These awesome prices are offered to encourage area seniors to give yoga a try. While this class is not restricted to seniors, it will focus primarily on the needs of older adults.
Here's a description of the class:
'Introduction to Yoga: Yoga has gotten more and more popular and many people associate it with super flexible beings who can put their ankles behind their heads and think they have to be flexible in the first place before going to yoga. The purpose of this class is to debunk any ideas like that and introduce you to yoga in a way that is accessible to everyone.
Maggie Mae Anderson's Intro to Yoga class is designed for the senior who is open to learning and trying new things and wants to feel better in both their body and mind. The class moves at a slower pace, clear instructions are given for all postures and hands-on assists and adjustments happen frequently. This class will help you tune into your breathing, help quiet the chatter in your mind and help you learn more about your body and how to safely stretch and take care of yourself.
Maggie Mae has been teaching yoga since 2001 to a wide range of ages and loves teaching to the slightly older crowd, feeling she always learns as much from them as they do from her. She is easy going, accepting and encouraging and loves turning people on to yoga, something that has been a passion of hers for decades.'
