Join us for yoga sessions designed for the third age.

We believe in the power of yoga to make our lives better as it has only benefits to it, from nurturing our Happiness, achieving High Concentration, better sleep and so on.

If you can breath, you can practice yoga. So, anyone who wants to practice yoga, can practice yoga.

But as T.K.V. Desikachar articulated well - no one can practice every kind of yoga. It has to be the right yoga for the person.

Yoga practice for the third age is adapted to the needs and abilities of the practitioners at this age.
