Broga - Yoga for Men

About this event

Join us for Broga - Yoga for Men - Every Wednesday Yoga is a way for all of us to realize the extraordinary within ourselves and let go of our self-imposed limitations. Men often believe yoga is for thin, flexible 20-something women and not for guys. Actually the first yogis were all guys! Yoga is for everybody. Modern-day men can derive enormous benefit from yoga in terms of strength, flexibility, stress relief and relief from chronic injury. Examples of men who can benefit from yoga are those make a living doing manual labor, men who are endurance athletes of any kind, do weight training or engage in other forms of strenuous repetitive motion exercise and those with military service or first responders. On the other end of the spectrum, guys who are more sedentary, work high-stress desk jobs, are aging, have chronic conditions resulting from physical injury, are very inflexible or are generally out of shape will find real benefit, as well. The will be a fun, light-hearted class geared to a beginner level, with modifications of postures to make them accessible to all. The class will be at a calm, slow pace with down-to-earth precise instruction and individual attention given to proper alignment and breathing. Come check it out and leave feeling more clear, confident, relaxed and focused! Your instructor will be Gaynell Collier-Magar who has found yoga to be a real lifesaver for her body and mind! She ran her own landscaping business for 28 years, has been an endurance athlete and powerlifter, scuba dives and backpacks and like most of us, has a busy life. Gaynell has been a yoga teacher for 15 years and practiced for 26 years. She has taught yoga for addiction recovery, people with disabilities, veterans, vinyasa, stress relief and restorative yoga and meditation. Come check it out and leave feeling more clear, confident, relaxed and focused!
