Gentle Yogis

Visit gentle-yogis.com for more info. The style of yoga that Rudy has created, Dynamic Gentle Yoga™, is accessible, inclusive, and empowering.

Rudy’s mission: To make the benefits of yoga accessible to all; to make the experience of yoga inclusive & empowering; to support regular practice; to train yoga teachers in the art of leading Dynamic Gentle Yoga. Gentle Yogis is the page for information about Rudy Peirce's online classes, programs, workshops, teacher training events, and tips for living mindfully. Rudy was a pioneer of Gentle Yoga at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lenox, Massachusetts in the early 90's and has been teaching for over 35 years. His specialty is guiding people through movements that gradually bring them into classical yoga postures and provide deep focus and relaxation without strain or pain. Rudy's approach is especially well-loved by people in their mid-life and beyond. Dynamic Gentle Yoga with Rudy supports living well and ageing gracefully.

Find your balance from the ground up!
Sat. Oct 25 at 2pm Sliding Fee Scale.

Give yourself the gift of grounding, balance, and resilience
in this season. Are you in need of some levity? Don’t let yourself
be dragged down by gravity, learn to trust it, yield to it, and allow
its energy to power you up and uplift you.

Join Gentle Yoga teacher, Louise LeGouis for an all-levels workshop to improve your ease, stability, and confidence through your feet.

- Learn about your anatomy to support whole-body vitality.
- Focus on feet, the foundation of posture and mobility.
- Explore anatomical landmarks, experience your feet as stabilizers and energy channels, find neutral feet for better balance, and strengthen them with simple exercises.
- Integrate your learning with grounding gentle yoga and a deep relaxation.
- Gain new insights and a renewed relationship with your feet.

A handout will be provided afterward.

Did you see our Oct newsletter? Lots of good stuff going on to support moments of peace including a free class, a workshop for the soul of your soles, and links to learn about "the Overview Effect" and also to watch the earth from the International Space Station as it circles the earth several times a day with a different pathway for each pass. Mesmerizing and soothing.
