Donna writes:

"Finding yoga in my mid-50s has been one of my greatest joys! Yoga, for me, means profound connection. It provides a holistic way to connect flexibility, strength, balance, concentration and mindful awareness. Yoga activates that part of us which is pure, whole and loving. Emotionally, I think of yoga as a laundering process, wringing out the negative and allowing the bright, human spirit in each of us to shine. Yoga moves us forward with gratitude, acceptance and awareness."

Lia began a dedicated yoga practice after her first class at one | o | one yoga in 2009. As a runner / weightlifter, she was skeptical at first. but found that yoga challenged her mentally and physically. At first attracted to power styles, she has evolved to appreciate the integrative effects of a slower, gentler practice. Lia enjoys balancing dynamic yang flows with gentler yin postures. She recently completed teacher training in Baja and is now excited to share with the community.

Scott Timmons

Gentle Yoga, Wednesdays, 9:00 - 10:15am

After 50 years and many miles, I needed a plan to keep my body vital for future adventures. Some older adults I knew who were in good shape practiced yoga, so in 2013 I started-- quickly noticing the benefits in strength, balance and flexibility that yoga brings. In 2018, I headed to Katmandu Valley, Nepal for my 200 hour teacher training. Now I am getting my 500 hour training! My goal is to enable anyone in class to do each pose at their own level. Starting at an older age, I feel equipped to assist those with limited flexibility, and those new to the practice.
