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.
Yoga helps with digestion and detoxification like a spring cleaning for your body, helping you get rid of toxins and waste. It can help improve circulation, stimulate the lymphatic system, and promote overall digestive health. Plus, it's a lot more enjoyable than cleaning out your garage.
Well, imagine trying to pat your head and rub your belly at the same time. Now imagine doing that while standing on one leg and reciting the alphabet backward. That's what yoga does for your coordination – it teaches you to be a multitasking ninja, gracefully moving through poses while keeping your balance and focus.
Yoga is like a self-esteem superhero! It helps you build strength, flexibility, and balance, which can boost your confidence. Plus, the mindfulness aspect of yoga teaches you to be kinder to yourself and appreciate your body for what it can do, rather than how it looks.
To know if you're doing a yoga pose correctly, channel your inner detective. Observe your alignment, check in with your breath, and listen to your body. If something feels off, make adjustments or ask your instructor for guidance. Remember, it's not about being perfect – it's about finding what works best for your body.
Yoga helps with mindfulness like a GPS for your mind, guiding you towards the present moment. It can help you learn to focus your attention, reduce distractions, and increase self-awareness. Plus, it's a lot more relaxing than listening to a robotic voice telling you where to turn.
