Most of us move through life unaware of the physical patterns that result in chronic pain, stiffness and/or limited movement. Becoming aware of these patterns and learning that we can change them or adopt new ones can result in freedom of movement, reduction of pain/stiffness and improved quality of life. This course is for all ages and fitness levels, especially seniors. Most of the exercises will be done lying on the floor, so the participant should wear loose, comfortable clothing for easy movement and bring a mat.
