I thought I would give my feelings as to why I am a faithful student in Beverly’s Senior yoga class. Due to an active life with dance and horseback riding (falls 🥺), I have aches and pains. My doctor said that as we age, we need to “stretch and strengthen” as well as work on balance. Senior yoga does just that! Beverly gets us to do that by humor and also teaching us about our anatomy.

Bev’s yoga leaves me feeling more flexible and strong, improves my posture and leaves me feeling good!
