Mature Movers Gentle Yoga - the movement is slow, each movement is linked with breath, as you enter into the postures gradually moving in and out of each pose first, and then finding a holding position. This preparation and fluid entry into postures protects and nurtures the joints, muscles, and connective tissue.
By gently stretching, twisting and bending, you improve flexibility in the spine, the joints and muscles of the body. The practice entails low-impact physical activity, postures, breathing techniques, relaxation, and meditation. Most people are familiar with the physical poses or Yoga positions but don’t know that Yoga involves so much more.
