Yoga

Yoga will be part of our Fit for Life program, which encourages seniors to stay active, healthy, grow stronger and to improve their mobility, strength, flexibility and balance.

Classes will be offered through collaboration with Flametree Yoga Studio. Flametree Yoga Studio was established in 2002 by accredited Senior Yoga Teacher Christine (Chris) Lalor. The style of yoga taught at Flametree is called Iyengar yoga and can be practised by both men and women at any age, any body shape and any level of flexibility. Flametree teaches yoga in a secular or non-religious manner.
