Healthy Aging Iyengar Yoga for Youngsters (age 30's-60's)

Mondays 11:00 am - 12:15 pm
w/ Howison Hollenberg
What is a youngster you ask? Life is characterized by cycles and stages. A youngster is more a state of mind than an age, but this class helps those that are leaving the bodies of their 20's and 30's and planning well for the next stage of life. Or perhaps you are well into your 40's, 50's, and 60's and want to elevate or maintain your self-care game. This is a class designed and opened for all "levels" of practitioners and is a slightly faster pace than Wednesday's Yoga for Healthy Aging (50+) class. Learn how to utilize yoga asanas (postures) to prevent common conditions and yoga philosophy for emotional health and happiness through the aging process.
