Yoga with Shanta! Thursdays at 9:30 am
Yoga with Shanta is a very gentle style that includes using a chair, standing, and floor exercise. Shanta Gabriel began Hatha Yoga classes in 1975 when she was 30. She continues to believe that the gentle stretching movement of yoga is one of the best ways for seniors to stay strong and flexible in the physical body.
