Is a program designed for participants aged 50 years and above, or others who want a gentle form of yoga which, though gentle, has all the benefits of other more difficult forms of yoga; however it is more appropriate to this age group. In this form of yoga great attention is put on function rather than form of exercise, the integration of breath and movement. Controlled breathing techniques (pranayama) and Relaxation techniques (Yoga nidra) are also taught in each class. This technique is an adaptation of a gentle yoga taught by Krishnamacharya, the father of modern Hatha Yoga and his son T.K.V. Desikachar.
