Learn About Hatha Yoga
|
 Hi friends!
Join us today at 1:30pm EST for a special Wellness Wednesday discussion group:
Yoga for the Aging Body
Hatha Yoga is a centuries-old philosophy and physical practice from India that can promote physical, mental, and emotional health and well-being. Regular practice of Hatha Yoga can heighten body awareness, promote flexibility and improve posture, circulation, organ function and muscle tone.
Join Robin Dinerman as she explains how this practice can help you release physical tension and mental fatigue, restore and integrate your energy, and achieve greater focus.
See you online!
