OLLI at Illinois - Lifelong Learning Community

Wellness Program

OLLI 's Wellness Program offers 60-minute sessions for members to continue practicing what they have learned in Wellness courses at OLLI or elsewhere. Members are expected to have some experience with yoga prior to participating in the Wellness Program. These sessions are taught by experts and are limited in size.

Wellness Program sessions are not study groups. However, they do meet once a week for 6 weeks during the same periods as our Study Group sessions.

OLLI membership is required to register for Wellness Program sessions. If you are not a member yet for 2025-26, you will need to purchase a membership before registering. Members need to sign in to access the Register buttons below.

Wellness Program Fee (six 60-minute sessions): $65

Yoga for Bone Health

Each of these 60-minute hatha classes will comprise a complete yoga practice, moving all major joints. Sessions are designed to improve bone health by focusing on muscle strength, balance, and proprioception (spatial awareness).

Previous yoga experience is helpful but not required. Many poses will be familiar to students who have taken the OLLI course Yoga for Bone Health, as this class is designed for those students to continue practicing poses and elements taught in that course.

Suggested props to experience the full benefits of the class include a yoga mat; 2 yoga blocks (9x6x4 inches is recommended; a few loaners are available); a blanket or thick towel; and a 10’ yoga strap (instructor has a few straps for sale at cost ($8.50) or to borrow).
