You've probably read about the benefits of yoga for older adults. The ancient art can help prevent falls by improving balance, and some studies have shown it can reduce pain from chronic diseases. Perhaps you've been tempted to try it but don't want to commit to a series of lessons before you see if it's right for you.
Spring Family Yoga at Sands Point Preserve Sunday at 11 a.m. offers a hands-on look at the benefits of yoga. The 45-minute session includes stretching and strength building. If the yoga doesn't leave you relaxed, the magnificent grounds at the preserve will.
Admission to the preserve is $10 per car, so it's a cost-
efficient way for the whole family to give yoga a test drive. And because it's part of the preserve's family series, bring the kids and grandkids. For more information, call 516-571-7900 or go to
