Yoga stretching with the aide of a chair allows almost anyone to join in to a gentle form of movement. Poses are done seated in, or holding onto a chair for support. Yoga works the joints and muscles to increase strength, flexibility, circulation, and balance. This class goes beyond typical exercises in that it encourages quiet reflection, proper breathing, and better posture. This is a great class for senior citizens and/or those with limited mobility. No yoga is experience required. Studio: Guilderland Center

**Yoga experience required Yoga Evolve is an intermediate level class designed to further develop your balance, improve flexibility and build strength, particularly throughout your upper body and core. The class environment is fun and relaxed as students "evolve" their yoga practice, transitioning into more challenging poses. Once a particular pose is accessible then the student progresses to increasingly more subtle explorations of the pose, and so the journey goes ever inward. Studio: Guilderland Center

**No yoga experience is required This class focuses on non-movement. Students are lead through a guided meditative form of self-exploration and relaxation. Integrative Restoration, or iRest, is a transformative meditative practice derived from the ancient teachings of Yoga Nidra. This practice helps guide the student to psychological, physical and spiritual healing. The ultimate design of iRest is to help us live contented lives, free from conflict, anxiety, fear and suffering. iRest is integrative in that it heals traumas that are present in the body, mind and senses; its restorative in that it helps the practitioner to recognize underlying ground of being- their true nature.
