Yoga for Joint Health and Flexibility

Flexibility is a key part to maintaining your health and avoiding injury.  This class will help to improve flexibility and range of motion; maintain joint health; alleviate stiffness; and lengthen and tone the entire body.  Through a series of movements and postures, this class will help to increase the amount of synovial fluid in the joints to keep them moving smoothly. (Without enough synovial fluid, joints tend to grind, leading to joint pain and arthritis.)

Tendons and ligaments tend to function significantly better as a result of a yoga practice. Not only can yoga improve the functioning of joints in healthy people, but it can help to reduce symptoms of tendonitis.

In addition, this class will help to calm the mind and relieve stress. Modifications will be provided, as needed, making this class appropriate for students of all levels.
