Forget the myth that you need to be flexible to try yoga - this class proves the opposite! Flexibility + Mobility focuses specifically on safely increasing your range of motion through targeted techniques. Each week tackles different muscle groups and joints using a variety of approaches.
The class combines functional movements, CARs (Controlled Articular Rotations), Kinstretch techniques, and myofascial release with props like straps, blocks, bolsters, and tennis balls to help you access deeper stretches comfortably.
You'll learn how proper stretching decreases injury risk, improves joint function, and enhances overall movement quality. Perfect for tight muscles from sitting, sports, or stress - all levels welcome with modifications offered throughout. Progress happens regardless of your starting point, making this one of our most accessible and practical classes.
Your finest stretchy pants, of course! But seriously, wear something comfortable and breathable that allows you to move freely. No need for designer labels, unless you want to impress the yoga mat next to you.
Yoga can help with emotional healing like a gentle massage for your heart. It can help you process and release emotions, improve self-awareness, and increase feelings of happiness and well-being. Plus, it's a lot more fun than sitting in a therapist's office all day.
Yin and yang yoga are like the yin and yang of the yoga world - they balance each other out. Yin yoga is slow and passive, focusing on deep stretching and relaxation, while yang yoga is more active and dynamic, focusing on building strength and heat.
Yoga helps with heart health like a personal trainer, providing a gentle and effective workout to keep your heart strong and healthy. It can help lower blood pressure, improve circulation, and reduce the risk of heart disease. Plus, it's a lot more enjoyable than sweating it out on a treadmill.
Yoga helps with mental health like a therapist, only without the couch and notepad. It can help you learn to manage your thoughts and emotions, increase self-awareness, and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Plus, it's a lot more fun than lying on a couch talking about your childhood.
