7-Day Aging Gracefully Series
What is it to age gracefully? First and foremost, we honour our process, reclaim our bodies, and listen. In this series, we reconnect to our bodies and all they do for us to move forward with confidence, stability, mobility, and possibility!
Throughout the series, you will need a folded towel, blanket, yoga blocks, or books nearby. A couch cushion or yoga bolster is also recommended, as well as having access to a chair or a wall.
