Combines elements of restorative and gentle yoga, emphasizing what you can do, knowing your limits and learning the right way to move your major joints. We’ll also discuss the role of inflammation and stress, exploring poses to stretch, strengthen and stabilize joints, with as little discomfort as possible.
