Gentle Yoga with Mary Edgerton

Gentle Yoga nurtures students who are either new to yoga or students of any level who seek a more peaceful, quiet practice.  Weaving in meditation and breath work, we move slowly and mindfully to strengthen and tone the muscles, create greater flexibility in the joints and work on improving our balance.  The expectation for this class is that you are able to sit cross legged on the floor comfortably, and that you can move from downward facing dog into plank at least 2-3 times per class.  If this is not an option for you, you are welcome to participate in a modified chair yoga practice.  

Please bring your own yoga mat, and any other supports you might need.  If you have any questions, please call the library or email kwilliams@cwmars.org.

About Mary

I teach yoga to a variety of populations ranging from college students to senior citizens in their 80’s and even 90’s and love sharing the benefits of yoga with everyone.  My focus is on safe alignment, creative sequencing and variations of asanas so that people of different abilities can practice to their edge.
