We will be running a short Spring session of yoga starting on May 5 and ending on June 27.  Classes will run for 8 weeks, 7 weeks for the Monday classes due to the stat holiday.  Classes are held at the Lake Bonavista Community Centre

There are 5 mixed level classes (instructor will gear to the ability of the class), 4 Chair classes, and one early morning class. We are asking that you pay when you register, so that we know you are committed to taking the class, and to ensure we have enough participants to run the class. We will not be offering refunds except for medical reasons. Monday classes (7) are $63, all other classes (8) are $72.  You may register for more than one class.

Connecting mind, body and breath

Yoga is a system of breathing exercise, movements and relaxation techniques that stretch and strengthen your body, keeping your mind and spirit working together in harmony.
Yoga can improve your health, stretches your muscles, sharpens your memory and eases your tension.  It's great for all ages and physical abilities.

The FLC Seniors Club offer classes for both the beginner and the more experienced students with modifications to help you maximize your class, working according to your own limits of flexibility and strength.
All our instructors are certified professionals who have experience working with older adults (55+) and the programs are designed to meet those needs.

"Foundations" - Description:
This class is suitable for the active and healthy beginner and continuing beginner.  You will learn about the basic philosophy, breath work and physical practice of yoga.  Note:  Some basic experience and knowledge of yoga is not required, but would be an asset.

"Experienced Foundations" - Description:

For the active, healthy and experienced yoga practitioner.  Continue to learn the basic philosophy, breath work and physical practice of yoga.  Note: Previous basic yoga experience is required. 

"Foundations Plus" - Description:

"Foundations for Men Only" - Description:
For the active and healthy gentleman who is more comfortable learning about the basic philosophy, breath work and physical practice of yoga in an all male class.  Note: Basic experience and knowledge of yoga is not required, but would be an asset.

"Chair Yoga" - Description:

For those who have difficulty getting up and down from the floor you can now enjoy the traditional aspects of yoga in a seated or chair supported standing adaptations of many poses to improve balance, joint mobility, breath awareness and flexibility.  Basic experience and knowledge of yoga is not required but would be an asset. 

"Wake up with Yoga"  - Description:

Do you feel sluggish and stiff when you roll out of bed in the morning? If so, this class is for you! Whether you are just getting started, or already have yoga experience, you will enjoy the morning stretches, joint mobility exercises, balance, and gentle yoga postures. Just come as you are, and leave with your body and mind ready to start the day.
