Gentle Yoga

Gentle Yoga is a slow-paced, low-intensity practice that integrates fluid movements with breath, to stretch muscles, mobilize joints and calm the mind. Posture cues are invitational and offer incremental options to support each individual’s needs and sense of agency. The practice supports students in all seasons and experiences of life and across all levels of flexibility, balance and strength. It is ideal for beginners, older adults, those recovering from injury or trauma or as a complement to sitting mediation.

Key Benefits: reduces stress, calms the nervous system, improves flexibility, enhances range of motion, improves sleep, builds awareness and sense of agency.

Gentle Yoga classes are held on a drop-in basis on Wednesdays from 7:00 – 8:00pm. Members and nonmembers are welcome. Join us for one class or come every week. Donations of $10 to Zen Center of Denver are appreciated and may be made with cash, PayPal or Venmo. Please bring a yoga mat.
