Yoga means union, and also union of opposites...effort and ease, strength and flexibility. To find balance in the body, we need both movement and stillness. Flow +Chill is a combination class, starting with a slower paced vinyasa, followed by restorative poses (supported by props). We will flow for half of class to warm the body up, then take the second part of class to stretch, release tension and dive into a deeper state of chill.
Some classes might include sound healing, breathwork or meditation.
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.
If you have an injury, think of yourself as a master chef adapting a recipe. You can modify yoga poses by using props like blocks or straps, or simply by adjusting your alignment. And remember, it's better to be safe than sorry – no one wants to end up with a yoga-induced injury that puts them out of commission for weeks.
Your finest stretchy pants, of course! But seriously, wear something comfortable and breathable that allows you to move freely. No need for designer labels, unless you want to impress the yoga mat next to you.
There are many different types of yoga, each with their own focus and approach. Some of the most common include:
Yoga is like a natural pain reliever. It can help reduce chronic pain by improving flexibility, strength, and posture. Plus, the focus on mindfulness can help you manage pain by changing your relationship to it.
