Join local yoga instructor Diane Brooks for a series of gentle yoga classes, designed for seniors but suitable for all levels of experience and fitness. All ages are welcome.

Try out hatha yoga for a moderate workout, with yoga postures in seated, reclined and standing positions, including balance postures. Experience yin yoga, practicing present-moment mindfulness while holding gentle stretches on the mat, opening the connective tissues to increase flexibility. Both styles will include demonstrations of chair yoga options.

Diane is a 20-year yoga practitioner, certified as a hatha yoga instructor by the American Yoga School and as a Karuna hatha teacher by the late Paul MacNaughton. She also completed a 50-hour yin yoga teacher training with internationally-known yin expert and author Bernie Clark.  She taught yoga for four years at Everett Community College and now teaches at various community locations.

Please bring a yoga mat if possible; there will be a few extra mats available. Chairs will be available for those who prefer to be seated. If you plan to practice on a floor mat, please also bring a small, firm cushion and/or a foldable cotton blanket.
