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 is like a gentle cardio workout for your heart. It gets your blood flowing, strengthens your heart muscle, and can help lower blood pressure. Plus, you don't have to worry about your heart skipping a beat when you see your yoga instructor – unless they're really, really attractive.
Yoga is like a circus performer, juggling multiple tasks at once. It improves your balance by strengthening your core and leg muscles, and it enhances your coordination by teaching you to move your body in sync with your breath. Just don't expect to run away and join the circus after a few classes.
Yoga is like a full-course meal, while stretching is like a quick snack. Yoga incorporates breathwork, meditation, and mindfulness, while stretching is more focused on the physical aspect of flexibility and range of motion.
Yoga is like a tightrope walker for your body. It can help improve your balance by strengthening your core and leg muscles, and improving your proprioception (your body's awareness of its position in space). Plus, it's a lot more fun than walking a tightrope all day.
Yoga can help with chronic pain like a soothing balm for your body. It can help reduce pain and stiffness, improve flexibility, and increase strength. Plus, it's a lot more fun than suffering in silence.
