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 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.
Practicing yoga regularly is like a magic potion for the mind and body. It can help improve focus and concentration, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall quality of life. It's like a mental and physical elixir, only without the risk of turning into a frog.
Hot yoga is like a sauna for your soul. It can help improve flexibility, detoxify the body, and enhance overall well-being. Plus, it's a great way to sweat out all the toxins from that last slice of pizza. Just don't forget to hydrate!
Yoga helps with PTSD like a therapist, providing a safe space to heal and recover. 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 relaxing than traditional talk therapy.
Absolutely! Yoga isn't about being able to touch your toes, it's about connecting with your body and finding your own edge. It's like learning to play an instrument, you start with the basics and work your way up. And who knows, with practice you might even surprise yourself and become a human pretzel.
