Every Monday at 11am these senior yogis meet at the Como by the Lake Apartment building! This past Monday was our biggest class ever! The yoga class is free and open to all seniors living in the North End - South Como neighborhoods. The class starts with a brief meditation which leads into 20 minutes of seated stretching and breathing exercises. We then move to 15 minutes of standing yoga poses, that are done behind a chair, which work on our balance and concentration. We end with a guided meditation to relax our bodies and lower our stress levels.
