This Fall, join Firefly for an online series of Yoga to Thrive classes designed to keep you mobile and agile so that you can age gracefully, maintain range of motion, and stay active and injury-free. The practice is intended to increase body awareness and improve your overall well-being by combining intentional movements with strength-building and balance.

Yoga to Thrive Online Series
Tuesdays, October 20 & 27
and November 10 & 17
Staying active as you age requires moving smarter, recovering better, and keeping your body in top condition. Yoga to Thrive is a comprehensive practice that combines various yoga styles (vinyasa, yin, and Self-Awakening Yoga) and integrates myofascial release and strengthening exercises to help you age gracefully, preserve your range of motion, and avoid injuries.
Yoga to Thrive has four guiding principles:
-
Body Awareness: Throughout class, you’re encouraged to observe and notice sensations to access your body's wisdom. By using the “as-is” principle, accept yourself and your experiences in the moment and remain inquisitive without judgment.
-
Mobility and Flexibility: Mobility is essential for preventing stiffness and injury. Regular stretching and myofascial release can improve flexibility and movement patterns, helping you maintain your range of motion. In Yoga to Thrive, we move in all planes, work with connective tissues such as fascia, ligaments, and tendons, build awareness of tightness or stickiness, and recognize asymmetries in the body.
-
Strength: Muscle mass naturally declines with age, but resistance training helps sustain strength, bone density, and joint stability. Yoga to Thrive classes incorporate movements designed to strengthen muscles and encourage practitioners to notice which muscles struggle to engage or can't disengage. The combination of strength and flexibility helps us achieve stability and optimal alignment, enabling us to move with ease.
-
Balance: Developing balance supports functional movement and helps prevent injury by strengthening stabilizer muscles and building proprioception (your sense of where you are in space). When you maintain balance, you are better equipped to catch yourself if you trip or slip, and you can sustain independence by being able to move well.
Each of the four yoga sessions will incorporate the guiding principles and be held via Zoom, so you can join from wherever you are.
Join us on Tuesdays, October 20 and 27 and November 10 and 17, from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. Mountain Time. If you can't attend live, registered attendees will have access to recordings.
