Fitness & Wellness Yoga with Eve @ Community Centre

Heavenly Healing Hatha

Yoga for Arthritis and Stiff Bodies

Hatha Yoga is a beautifully balanced practice of polar opposites – ‘Ha’ (sun) and ‘Tha’ (moon); the active, invigorating power of the sun combined with the cool, reflective calm of the moon.

This class is appropriate for individuals looking for a gentle yoga class that can accommodate stiff bodies and those recovering from an injury or illness.
