• MEN’S CORE STRENGTH YOGA
(Every Monday, 6:30-7:45 pm)
As men age, stress, gravity, and neglect of the body conspire to cause us to collapse inward. We close ourselves off to life. In this dynamic, powerful, gentle, and fun class you’ll learn to open from the inside out - to strengthen, lengthen, and enjoy your core. This class is for men with diverse abilities, ages, shapes, colors, orientations, and backgrounds (must be able to walk up & down stairs because NW Portland studio is not wheelchair accessible). Instructor Charles Airey has studied yoga for about 25 years, became a certified Kripalu Yoga Instructor 20 years ago, and has taught in various studios in South Florida & Southern California.
