This Group is led by Jenny Dunford.
Jenny writes: "I ran a yoga group for Rugby u3a and I quite miss doing it, so I was interested in running one for Stroud. I have done yoga for over 20 years and I was a teacher. Whilst I do not have a formal qualification as a teacher of yoga, u3a are happy to insure this activity since I will be “leading a group, not actually teaching”.
Basically we do yoga for older people, working on mats. We can also use chairs to aid in balance postures. We can provide mats until members get their own.
U3a groups are also about participation so I'm happy for anyone else to lead the group or just suggest ideas.
The main focus is on pain relief, retaining strength and mobility, and relaxation. We will modify and use props to try and make the postures accessible to everyone.
There is a small charge to cover the hire of the hall.
