MEN'S CORE STRENGTH YOGA
Monday, 9/18, 6:30-7:45 pm &
Saturday, 9/23 10:00-11:15 am
As men age, stress, gravity, and neglect of the body conspire to cause us to collapse inward. We close ourselves off to life. In this dynamic, powerful, gentle, and fun class you'll learn to open from the inside out - to strengthen, lengthen, and enjoy your core. This class is for men with diverse abilities, ages, shapes, colors, orientations, and backgrounds (must be able to walk up & down stairs because NW Portland studio is not wheelchair accessible). Instructor Charles Airey has studied yoga for about 25 years, became a certified Kripalu Yoga Instructor 20 years ago, and has taught in various studios in South Florida & Southern California.

NOTE: Please RSVP as we limit our class sizes to assure each class is tailored to each man's goals, limitations, & abilities. Men of all experience levels are welcome in all our classes. Classes are only free for men who’ve never attended one of our yoga or meditation classes. After your 1st class, you decide how much you want to donate per class and then pay that amount times the number of classes remaining in the quarter. Space is limited in the Therapeutic Yoga Class, so please RSVP for this class ASAP.
