Gentle yoga exercises are great for beginners because the movements are gentle and comfortable while still being effective in gaining strength and flexibility. Because poses are generally held for minutes, participants are encouraged to breath while they hold and move which encourages stress relief. Pillows and cushions are also used in class to provide added comfort, which is great for beginners who are not used to flexing and stretching their body.

The gentle yoga classes in Salem, MA are focused more on alignment and breathing techniques of foundational yoga poses. You will appreciate all these things if you are new to yoga because it provides ample opportunity to learn and practice basic principles of yoga before jumping into a more complex yoga pose. By understanding this, you will be able to enjoy more of the benefits of gentle yoga as well as other styles of yoga.

Your gentle yoga instructor will also share pose modifications so that everyone in class can participate. So regardless of your fitness, age or comfort level, you can still appreciate gentle yoga and enjoy its fitness and health benefits. It is also through these modifications that you can keep yourself safe from injury.
