“Most people have no idea how good their body was designed to feel.”
~Kevin Trudeau
Yoga is the perfect vehicle for healthy living and aging gracefully. It’s a way of intentional living that is supported by diet, exercise, mindfulness, and emotional wellness.
Yoga has been practiced for centuries to keep the body flexible and balanced. Even gentle movement and breathing exercises optimize everything that we physically experience, while also bringing our emotional and energetic bodies back into equilibrium.
Yoga for Healthy Aging classes and workshops include yoga postures that develop flexibility, strength, balance and agility. Breathing techniques improve respiratory functioning and mindfulness training for emotional well being.
The focus of these classes is to teach and cultivate a sense of equanimity, or the ability to move through life transitions with peace and grace. Cultivating equanimity is so important in life. It is one of the three pillars of healthy aging, and in a yoga practice, equanimity is considered one of the four heart practices.
Yoga for Healthy Aging classes are taught in a gentle Kripalu Yoga style, using a chair. Modified instructions are provided if you need to remain seated for the entire class. *
No experience is necessary to join this class.
The only prerequisite is a desire to know and heal yourself.
Julie Luciani, in addition to her many years of teaching yoga, brings decades of experience as a registered Occupational Therapist with extensive experience working with seniors to improve strength, range of motion, balance and endurance to overcome physical limitations and move with more ease.

* People sometimes ask to know a little more about how the class is structured. Class begins with centering, postures and stretches seated in a chair for about a half hour, followed by standing postures using the chair to steady your balance for the second half hour, and ends with a choice of postures seated in the chair or – for those who can comfortably lower themselves to the floor – modifications for finishing the class on the floor for about 5-10 minutes, ending with relaxation.
