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.
Yoga helps with stress reduction like a warm bath, only without the pruney fingers. It can help calm the mind, lower cortisol levels, and increase relaxation. Plus, it's a lot more invigorating than soaking in a tub.
To prepare for a yoga class, channel your inner yogi by wearing comfortable, stretchy clothes, bringing a yoga mat, and leaving your ego at the door. Remember to hydrate before and after class, and don't forget to silence your phone – nobody wants to hear your ringtone during Savasana.
Yoga is like a soothing massage for your joints. It helps to reduce inflammation, increase flexibility, and improve overall joint health. Plus, it's a lot cheaper than hiring a personal masseuse to follow you around all day.
Yoga helps with muscle strength and tone like a personal trainer, only without the dumbbells and weight machines. It can help you build lean muscle mass, improve flexibility, and increase overall body composition. Plus, it's a lot more peaceful than grunting and sweating in a crowded gym.
Yoga can definitely help with weight loss, but it's not a magic solution. It burns calories, builds muscle, and can help reduce stress-related eating. Plus, it's a lot more fun than spending hours on the treadmill.
