Benefits of Yoga for Joint Health and Balance 🌿

Yoga is one of the most effective exercise forms for improving joint health and mobility as we age. Regular practice helps maintain flexibility, build supportive muscle strength, and enhance proprioception (your body's awareness of position), which is crucial for preventing falls.

Yoga Gold classes are specifically designed to:

• Increase joint mobility through gentle, controlled movements that lubricate joints and expand range of motion
• Build functional strength in key muscle groups that support everyday activities
• Improve balance and stability through poses that challenge and train your equilibrium
• Reduce fall risk by enhancing body awareness and reaction time
• Promote mindfulness and stress reduction through breathwork and meditation

Unlike high-impact activities, yoga offers a gentle yet effective way to maintain fitness without stressing the joints. The inclusive nature of Chevanne's class ensures everyone works at their appropriate level while still feeling challenged and making progress.

Wear comfortable clothing you can move in easily, and bring a water bottle. Mats and props are typically available, but you're welcome to bring your own if preferred. 🧠💪
