Midlife and Beyond Yoga Journey
Have you ever felt a shift in focus as you reach a certain age?
I know I have and the experience of feeling invisible in yoga classes is a shared sentiment. Let's celebrate the wisdom and vibrant energy that comes with every stage of life. Break free from invisibility and honor the wealth of knowledge each one of us carries!
Begin your Midlife and Beyond Yoga Journey: Discover the benefits of Chair Based Yoga and Mindfulness Yoga with Leslie Matthews.
Chair Based Yoga
Are you ready to embark on a transformative journey to strength and flexibility?
Look no further—join me for invigorating Chair Based Yoga. Chair Yoga is for those that care about their health and well-being but who cannot sit for long periods on a mat. Almost all poses can be adapted to a chair and will allow you to work all the positions of the spine, shoulder, hips, and core as well as activate feet, arms, legs and hands with the support of a chair. It also involves a lot of mindful breath work. For those that have restricted movement, for whatever reason, you no longer need to give up yoga and can improve circulation and increase mobility.
Mindfulness and Alignment Based Yoga
Mindfulness is a state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment. A Mindfulness Yoga class is where your well-being takes center stage. Here's why practicing with me offers a unique and empowering experience: Mindfulness and Alignment Based Yoga is a connection of the Mind/Body/Spirit through your breath in the Iyengar tradition. It is a style of yoga that utilizes props and modifications for all skill levels to properly align the body for asana [poses], with a focus on spinal stability.

5 Pillars of Health
Yoga effectively addresses stress by promoting relaxation and reducing the levels of cortisol, the
stress hormone. Through practices such as deep breathing, meditation, and gentle poses, yoga
helps to calm the nervous system and balance hormone levels, leading to a more peaceful and
centered state of mind.
Yoga encourages mindful eating and a balanced diet that supports overall health. Specific
poses and practices stimulate the digestive system and enhance the body's natural detoxification
processes, helping to eliminate toxins and improve metabolic function. Incorporating yoga into
your lifestyle can complement a healthy diet and promote optimal nutrition.
Yoga promotes better sleep by calming the mind and relaxing the body. Practices such as gentle
stretching, breathing exercises, and guided meditation prepare the body for restful sleep and can help alleviate insomnia and other sleep disturbances. Consistent yoga practice can lead to more restorative and rejuvenating sleep.
Yoga provides a holistic approach to movement and fitness by combining strength, flexibility,
and endurance training. Regular yoga practice improves muscle tone, enhances joint mobility,
and increases overall physical stamina. Whether through dynamic vinyasa flows or more static
poses, yoga supports a well-rounded fitness regimen.
Yoga fosters emotional balance and spiritual growth by encouraging self-awareness and
mindfulness. Through regular practice, individuals can connect more deeply with their inner
selves, develop greater emotional resilience, and cultivate a sense of peace and purpose.
