Gentle Yoga for Creaky People (Level 1, All) at Dream Yoga Studio

Feeling stiff and creaky? Maybe a little grumpy?  Relax and stretch yourself! 


“Creaky People” is a gentle class geared toward those new to yoga, or individuals looking to slow down and release the stress of everyday life.  This compassionate practice focuses on the joints, and uses gentle repetitive movements with rhythmical breathing and yoga postures to develop flexibility and range of motion, resilient strength, glowing wellness, inner connection and inner peace.  This class also offers a transformation for those with physical limitations, including chronically tight muscles, reduced range of motion, unsteady balance, weakness/slow muscle tone, recovery from surgery or injury, inflammation and heart conditions.


It’s yoga for every body, no matter your age or flexibility. You will learn to breathe more deeply, strengthen concentration/focus, and discover new strength and flexibility while honoring your limits. This class is respectful of individual differences and challenges, offering variations on all movements.
