Are you looking for a deeply relaxing yoga practice with a gentle touch?

Come to unwind, rejuvenate and enjoy a gentle approach to yoga. This class focusses on releasing tensions, gently works towards increased flexibility and strength and allows you to experience deep relaxation.

The gentle yoga class is suitable for anyone wanting to practice gentle postures at a slower pace: beginners, people with restricted movement, older people or those getting back into the practice after a lapse.

Yoga for Over 50s and Seniors

It is never too late to take up yoga

If you are over 50 or 60 plus and would like to take up yoga, the gentle class, its slower pace and adapted sequence is the place to start.

The body has incredible regenerative powers and even after a short time of practising gentle postures, we feel rejuvenated, sleep better and have more energy. Proper breathing is of great importance and meditation helps us to feel centred within. Many problems associated with ageing are a result of lack of exercise and shallow breathing. Yoga can alleviate these complaints.

“During spiritual relaxation, the yogi identifies himself with the all-pervading, all-powerful, all-peaceful and joyful self within himself, the real source of knowledge and strength.”

Swami Vishnudevananda
