OFFERING YOGA CLASSES

Riverview Health Promotion is offering three different yoga classes beginning the week of Aug. 24. The classes will be held in Riverview Hospital's lower level conference center and will be led by Heidi Dix, YogaFit certified instructor.

Gentle Yoga is designed for those who enjoy yoga at a slower pace. The class focuses on warming up the body, connecting with the breath, releasing muscle tension, and increasing strength and flexibility with a gentle, flowing yoga practice. It will be held from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesdays, Aug. 25 to Oct. 14, and from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Thursdays, Aug. 27 to Oct. 15. The cost is $40 or $32 for those 60 years and older.

Chair Yoga is a gentle, restorative yoga designed for almost anyone. It is practiced while seated in a chair or standing with a chair for support. Chair Yoga increases flexibility, strength, balance and circulation, while encouraging proper breathing and posture. It will meet from 5:45 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. Tuesdays, Aug. 25 to Oct. 13 (except Sept. 15). The cost is $35 or $28 for those 60 years and older.
