One of the most popular yoga myths is the belief that you need to be flexible before ever setting foot on a mat. The truth is, flexibility isn’t a prerequisite. In fact, a regular yoga practice will actually help you become more flexible over time. Increased flexibility can help decrease the risk of injuries, create a better range of motion of joints, lengthen muscles, improve balance and overall health!
Flexibility + mobility is a fun, judgment-free space, suitable for all levels. In this class we will work on different muscle groups and joints each week, using Functional movements, CARs (Controlled Articular Rotations), Kinstretch techniques as well as Myofascial release to improve range of motion and flexibility.
Props such as straps, bolsters, blocks, and tennis balls will be used to target specific areas and help ease your body into the poses and stretches.
Modifications and options will be offered throughout the class.
Expect to feel like a human pretzel at times, but don't worry, you'll eventually become a master of the art of twisting and bending. You'll also likely experience a sense of calm and relaxation, and possibly even a newfound appreciation for your body and its capabilities.
Absolutely! Yoga is like a universal language for your body. It can be practiced by people of all ages and fitness levels, and can be adapted to meet the needs of each individual. Plus, it's a lot more fun than sitting on the couch all day.
Yoga can help improve mental clarity like a brain-boosting smoothie. It can help reduce stress and anxiety, which can cloud your thoughts. Plus, the focus on mindfulness can help you stay present and focused.
The etiquette for a yoga class is pretty simple - just be respectful of your fellow yogis, don't hog the space, and try not to fart during savasana. Oh, and remember to turn off your phone - nobody wants to hear your latest TikTok during their downward dog.
Yoga can help with depression like a ray of sunshine for your mind. It can help reduce stress and anxiety, improve self-esteem, and increase feelings of happiness and well-being. Plus, it's a lot more fun than sitting in a therapist's office all day.
