“Be good to yourself. If you don’t take care of your body, where will you live?”
– Kombi Yamada
One of the things I love most about gentle yoga is that it welcomes everyone, it’s not limited by age or ability. I think it takes us back to the basics of true yoga, where one can be in union with mind and body. This is such a wonderful class for all types of people, especially when you have a wonderful teacher that wants to help you build your practice from the ground up and appreciates where you are on your life journey. Gentle yoga offers poses for one to move the body in a way that feels good and recharges the body both physically and mentally.
Gentle yoga reminds us that our body is a gift. In a gentle yoga class you become mindful of how your body moves. Breath and movements are pathways to overall wellness feeding the body and the soul. Gentle yoga creates a space where we slow the business life and surrender to the calming movements and restorative breaths.
Poses in gentle yoga are held just long enough to feel the body, to strengthen and stretch, yet repair where your body needs support and love. It’s a class that allows you to slow the pace and let go of the hustle and bustle of the day in and day out of life.
Gentle yoga is practically beneficial to those who are just starting to explore yoga. For those that are stiff and wanting to improve their fitness level, gentle yoga offers the slower practice that makes it easier to get into poses. Gentle yoga is also a wonderful practice for postpartum when Mamas are wanting to rediscover their body again after having a child or children. Those that are recovering from injury and need to explore postures more slowly, gentle yoga is wonderful option.
