A 4-Hour Workshop with Jana Sutherland
Saturday, November 7, 2026 · 3-7 PM
$60 · In Studio · Limited to 20 Participants

Yoga can support us through every stage of life—and our practice can continue to evolve right along with us.

Join Jana Sutherland for an afternoon exploring how yoga can support balance, strength, mobility, joint and bone health, cognitive function, and emotional well-being as we age.

Through movement, breath, reflection, restorative practice, and meditation, you’ll explore practical ways to support your well-being now and in the years ahead.

All levels are welcome, including beginners.


What We'll Explore

During this four-hour workshop, Jana will guide you through:

  • An accessible look at current research on yoga and healthy aging

  • Yoga practices that support balance, strength, joint mobility, and bone health

  • Breathing and mindfulness practices for emotional well-being

  • Reflection and connection around the experience of aging

  • Restorative yoga and a guided meditation to close the afternoon

This isn’t about resisting age or asking your body to perform as it once did. It’s an invitation to explore how movement, breath, awareness, and everyday choices can help you continue to meet life with strength, resilience, and possibility.


What You'll Take With You

You’ll leave with a greater understanding of the practices and daily habits that can support you as you age, along with movements and breathing techniques you can continue to explore at home.

Every participant will receive a booklet with information and exercises from the workshop to support continued practice.


Who Is This Workshop For?

Aging Well is for anyone curious about how yoga can support health and well-being throughout the aging process.

No previous yoga experience is necessary. Experienced students and those completely new to yoga are equally welcome.


✨ Continue the Practice on Sunday

Workshop participants are also invited to Jana's Aging Well yoga class on Sunday, November 8 at 11:00 AM, at no additional charge.

The class will build on Saturday's exploration and offer another opportunity to put the ideas from the workshop into practice.

For those who do not attend Saturday's workshop, the Sunday class is $20 with regular registration.
