    Hata Yoga is the branch of the Yoga disciplines that uses breathing and
traditional postures (called Asanas) to bring into harmony the body, emotions
and mind. Hatha Yoga for Seniors is a gentle introduction to this ancient art,
designed for beginners and paced to accommodate those not athletically inclined.
Those who are 50 years of age or older are invited to join the classes.

    The classes are divided into three units: psycho-physical calisthenics to warm the
muscles and energize the body; stretches to prepare the muscles for the asana
and to promote agility; asana or yoga postures that balance natural energy
