Settle into a quietly restorative yoga session designed to soothe the body and calm the mind. Over the course of ninety minutes, participants move through simple, accessible movements and gentle breathing practices, then ease into an extended guided rest that supports stress relief and nervous system balance. During the final relaxation, optional hands-on support may be offered with light holds at the shoulders, head, neck, and feet to encourage release and comfort. All activities are adaptable for different abilities. Expect a brief warmup to reduce stiffness, unhurried stretches that prepare the body to rest, soft breath cues that invite ease, and ample time for full-body relaxation. Many older adults may appreciate benefits such as less muscle tightness, better sleep and mental clarity, emotional steadiness, and a lingering sense of comfort that can leave participants feeling grounded and light. Instruction is provided by Judi Chaudrue-Lyons, who offers gentle, attentive guidance with a focus on safety, comfort, and deeply relaxing hands-on care.
