Seniors Yoga in St Albans

Yoga works. It has been clinically shown to lower blood pressure, increase circulation, build muscle tissue, increase flexibility, relieve stress and stress-related symptoms, and strengthen the respiratory system. Other benefits include relief from symptoms of menopause, counteracting osteoporosis, cleansing of internal organs, energizing the nervous system, balancing out the digestive system and relief from headaches and lower back pain.

We don’t specify any upper or lower age limit since everybody is different. You may see ’50+’ in some places, or ’60+’ at others. Some of our Seniors Yoga practitioners are completely new to Yoga, and some have already been practicing for many years and remain agile and strong. It really is quite a mix. There is nothing you have to do in a class, if there’s something you can’t do, for whatever reason, you can just wait a while until there is something you can do. It won’t take long for you to notice others are also following their own embodied intuitions and abilities, whilst simultaneously up for the challenge and direction of the teacher. You will learn many postures, movements, and breathing exercises that you can use regularly in your life to support other activities and to maintain strength, flexibility, balance, and vibrancy.

Our Seniors Yoga class has been running since 2003 and is well attended by a lovely group of regulars. After each class you have the option to stay for chats, (mint) tea and biscuits, and plenty of time to ask questions, get advice, and discuss options for some of the postures and movements.

Yoga benefits the body, mind and soul. Enjoy a new experience and try a class.
