Yoga for Healthy Aging:
A Monthy Workshop Series with Baxter Bell, MD Saturdays 2-4:00pm $55 early registration • $65 week of workshop
in-person and via Zoom + 14 day recording At Mountain Yoga, we believe yoga is for life. This practical four-part series with Baxter Bell, MD—internationally recognized yoga teacher and co-author of Yoga for Healthy Aging—explores four essential ingredients for lifelong health: your feet, brain, joints, and spine. In each workshop, Baxter combines the latest research with a guided yoga practice and practical tools you can take home to support lifelong health and well-being. Planning to attend the full series? While each workshop stands on its own, together they offer a comprehensive approach to lifelong health. Because these workshops often fill in advance, we encourage you to register early if you plan to attend all four. Feet for Life
Saturday, September 12 • 2:00–4:00 PM Healthy feet keep us moving through the world with confidence. Whether you're dealing with plantar fasciitis, bunions, fallen arches, or simply want stronger, more resilient feet, you'll discover practical ways to improve balance, walk more comfortably, and stay sure-footed. Brains for Life
Saturday, October 10 • 2:00–4:00 PM A healthy brain helps us stay sharp, engaged, and connected to life. Whether you're solving problems at work, learning a new language, planning your next adventure, or enjoying a lively conversation, cognitive health is key. Hear the growing body of research on how yoga supports memory, focus, and clear thinking, then enjoy a guided yoga practice. Joints for Life
Saturday, November 7 • 2:00–4:00 PM Our joints let us kneel in the garden, dance at a wedding, get down on the floor with a grandchild, or set off on our next adventure. Discover what current research tells us about arthritis, then learn practical ways to improve mobility and support long-term joint health. Spine for Life
Saturday, December 5 • 2:00–4:00 PM A healthy spine gives us the freedom to move through life. Whether you're reaching overhead, lifting a suitcase, or waking up refreshed after a good night's sleep, your spine supports everything you do every day. Learn how your spine is designed to move, then enjoy a guided yoga practice that builds strength, mobility, and resilience.
