Gentle yoga

‍

is a low-impact, slow-paced practice focusing on floor-based stretches, breathing, and mindfulness to improve flexibility, reduce stress, and enhance joint mobility. Ideal for beginners, seniors, or injury
recovery, it uses gentle, accessible poses (e.g., Cat-Cow, Child’s Pose) to foster a, deep mind-body connection.
