yoga and inspiration for
​ the third third of life
  

"Youth is the gift of nature, but age ​is a work of art."
​                                                                                  — Stanislaw Jerzy Lec

 BOOMING: Yoga for the Third Third, is programming commitment of Mountain Yoga to present classes, talks, workshops, intensives and retreats that support mid-life to life's end.  Programs that help us to live well as we live long.  

A hundred years ago the average American lived to be 49.  We now live thirty years longer on average.  This span from the age of menopause to end of life is now being referred to as  "the third third."   Baby Boomers, the generation renowned for creativity, innovation, initiative, are currently on this stretch of road — and they are travelling with top down and the radio cranked.  Aging their way, perhaps we should call it "booming!"
