Yoga-Mojo -- Gentle / Senior Yoga

Yoga-Mojo Gentle / Senior Vinyasa Flow offers a welcoming, breath-centered practice designed to improve mobility, strength, balance, flexibility, and overall well-being. Taught with mindful pacing and thoughtful transitions, these classes encourage students to move with confidence while honoring their individual needs and abilities.

Rooted in the Yoga-Mojo Method, each practice unfolds as a moving meditation, integrating breath with movement to cultivate greater body awareness, mental clarity, and inner calm.

Classes may include:
-Gentle centering with mantra, mudra, pranayama, and meditation
-An awakening sequence to prepare the body with mindful movement
-Accessible standing and seated postures to build strength, stability, balance, and flexibility
-Functional movements that support everyday activities
-Time to explore alignment, refine postures, and move with awareness
-Restorative stretching and a peaceful guided Savasana

Options and modifications are offered throughout, making these practices appropriate for seniors, beginners, anyone returning to yoga after injury or illness, or those simply seeking a slower, more mindful approach to Vinyasa.
Many classes also weave in yoga philosophy, mythology, mudras, mantras, and seasonal themes, creating a practice that nurtures not only the body, but also the mind and spirit.

Led by Loretta Jo, E-RYT 500, YACEP, and founder of Yoga-Mojo, these practices celebrate the belief that yoga is for every body and every stage of life.
