This practice is for anyone regardless of their physical condition, but it would be worthwhile to call Fredric at 333 419 to discuss any questions or concerns you may have.
This will be a precursor to a weekly course of yoga for men on Saturday mornings. If you cannot attend this workshop but are interested in an ongoing course, please email us at info@yoga.lu to let us know if you can partiicipate June 17, July 1st and 8th or only on a weekly basis starting late September for our Autumn term.
Style: Yoga for Men
This program is designed with men in mind. On a physical level, we'll warm up with stretching the back of the thighs, strengthening the abdomen, and reinforcing the lower back before going through a a variety of yoga postures in a comfortable and deliberate manner to calm the mind and reduce stress. We'll sit for breathing exercises, lie for a nice long guided relaxation practice of yoga nidra followed by a brief seated meditation. Go to the Yoga for Men page.
