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.
A typical yoga class is like a good movie - it lasts long enough to tell a story, but not so long that you start to nod off. Most classes run between 60-90 minutes, but there are also shorter and longer options available, depending on your schedule and attention span.
There are many different types of yoga, each with their own focus and approach. Some of the most common include:
Yoga can help with menopause symptoms like a soothing balm for your body. It can help reduce hot flashes, improve sleep, and reduce stress. Plus, it's a lot more fun than sitting in a freezer to cool off.
Yoga can help boost your metabolism like a shot of espresso for your cells. It can help improve digestion and increase muscle mass, both of which can boost your metabolism. Plus, it's a lot more fun than drinking a cup of coffee every day.
Yoga is like a magical flexibility and balance potion, working wonders on your body over time. It stretches and strengthens your muscles, which can lead to improved flexibility and balance. Just don't expect to be doing backflips and splits after your first class.
