Sip & Stretch Gentle Yoga with Cathy at Sweet Baby Vineyard

Stretch. Sample. Sip.  

Join certified yoga instructor Cathy Arnault and AARP NH for a 60-minute, in-person gentle yoga class on September 4 at Sweet Baby Vineyard (260 Stage Road) in Hamstead, NH.

The class, which begins at 3 pm, will start with pranayama (meditative breathing) and will progress from seated warm-ups, to warm-ups on the hands and knees, and then to standing asanas (postures). Because this is a gentle class, we will focus on the six movements of the spine and gentle rotations of the joints, as well as gentle stretching and strengthening.

This is your practice, so you should only do what feels right in your body. Take care of YOU! The class will end with 5 minutes of savasana, or rest, to help the body to integrate all that it has done.

Following the class at 4 pm, enjoy a wine tasting. Be sure to stop by the AARP NH table at the event to grab some AARP resources on healthy living, upcoming local events, how to make communities more age friendly, and getting involved as a volunteer. Everything will wrap up by 5 pm.

All you will need is a mat, a small blanket, and water. Yoga blocks and a strap might be helpful for modifications, but are not required.

This event is FREE but space is limited. Registration is required: https://events.aarp.org/sip-stretch24
