Twenty-one pupils circled 85-year-old Gloria Lampley-Simmons like ripples in a pond.
Sitting in chairs spaced 6 feet apart, each student mimicked the yoga instructor as she tilted her head, rolled her shoulders and clasped her palms together as if in prayer.
“Just do what you can,” she said softly, as the sound of tinkling piano keys flowed from a speaker. “It’s no competition. Close your eyes, relax and focus.”
Lithe and limber, Simmons hosts free yoga sessions at the Ella Austin Community Center gym on North Pine. In addition to 10:30 a.m. chair yoga classes Mondays and Wednesdays, she hosts mat yoga on Saturdays from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.

SAN ANTONIO – Vaccination numbers continue to grow in Bexar County, but not everyone is ready, or possibly able, to get their first dose yet.
While Mayor Ron Nirenberg reported Thursday that 63.5% of the county had received at least one dose so far, a recent vaccination report by the San Antonio Metropolitan Health District shows the vaccination rates vary across the county. The breakdown by ZIP code in the May 10 report shows that only between 19.2% and 43.4% of people across a good swatch of the West and Southwest sides have received at least one dose.
