Practice

Gentle / Senior Yoga

Yoga is for everyone, and it's never too late to start. These classes are about practising with awareness at every stage of life.

Who is it for?

For seniors and adults with joint pain, stiffness, recovering from injury, or lower tolerance for exertion. Also for anyone who has never practised yoga and wants to start safely.

What's a class like?

Classes move at a gentle pace, with āsana — postures — adapted to each person. Whenever needed, we use props to support the practice (chair, block, wall). The focus is on mobility, gentle stretching, conscious breathing, balance and relaxation.

Where we practise

At Āshram Gaya (Adult Yoga + Gentle Yoga, with Rui). Outside the Āshram: Academia Sénior de Vilar de Andorinho, Arcozelo, Academia Sénior do Centro Social de Vilar de Andorinho, and SSAP Porto.
