Arthritis-Friendly Gentle Yoga & Meditation (Online)

Yoga has been demonstrated to improve arthritis symptoms, along with physical fitness, psychological well-being and quality of life. This class combines ancient yoga practices with modern medical knowledge. Laraine offers modifications to make the movements and postures accessible. We not only practice yogic movements
and postures designed to address the limitations of arthritis, but we cultivate a sense of well-being by calming the mind, deepening the breath, and engaging in positive affirmations and a powerful meditative practice throughout the class. No prior yoga experience is necessary.
