Recently, I signed up at the nearby recreation centre for my second session of yoga classes.

Do you know where your senior friends or relatives are this morning? Well, if you happen to live in the community of Brockport, NY, they may just be hanging out with Nancy Burhyte at the Burhyte Ballet School – except they won’t be learning how to do ballet poses, such as the first position or an arabesque, but will rather be in a yoga forward bend or child’s pose.

It’s early morning. You rise, have a quick shower, and then you dial your yoga teacher for your weekly class.
