What is the difference between the YE4CC classes Gentle and Strong?
YE4CC: Gentle – uses chair for seated postures and support. Less standing postures. More emphasis and time spent practicing breathing exercises, meditation and gentle yet deep postures. Students must be able to get to and from floor without assistance. Ideal for those living with chronic health challenges especially autoimmune conditions, cancer, chronic stress/anxiety and/or caregivers.
YE4CC: Strong – No chair postures. More standing postures with option to work more gentle or strong. More emphasis on physical postures and teaching how/when to adapt to meet individual fluctuating needs. Appropriate for students with mild physical limitations. Ideal for those living with chronic health challenges especially autoimmune conditions, cancer and/or caregivers.
Both classes have yoga philosophy weaved throughout to encourage mindfulness and loving kindness within our bodies, minds and spirits.
