Frequently Asked Questions
What is gentle yoga and how is it different from regular yoga?
Gentle yoga moves at a slower pace with longer holds, more modifications, and less intensity than a typical vinyasa or power class. At Saguaro Blossom, Rebecca focuses on accessible poses, mindful breathwork, and stress relief rather than athletic performance.
Is gentle yoga good for seniors?
Gentle yoga is one of the best practices for seniors. It improves balance, flexibility, and joint mobility while being easy on the body. Many of our gentle yoga students are 60+ and appreciate the unhurried pace and supportive modifications we offer.
Can gentle yoga help with chronic pain?
Many students find gentle yoga helpful for managing chronic pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and back problems. Our trauma-informed approach means we never push through pain. Rebecca will help you find comfortable modifications for every pose.
