Free Yoga in San Gabriel Park
Sat Mar 7 at 10am
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 yoga, mobility, and stability 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.
To prepare for a yoga class, channel your inner yogi by wearing comfortable, stretchy clothes, bringing a yoga mat, and leaving your ego at the door. Remember to hydrate before and after class, and don't forget to silence your phone – nobody wants to hear your ringtone during Savasana.
Yoga is like a circus performer for your body. It can help improve your balance and coordination by strengthening your muscles, improving your proprioception, and teaching you to move your body in sync with your breath. Plus, it's a lot more fun than juggling all day.
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.
Yoga helps with mental health like a therapist, only without the couch and notepad. 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 fun than lying on a couch talking about your childhood.
How often you practice yoga is like how often you brush your teeth. Ideally, you should aim for at least 3-5 times a week for optimal benefits, but even once a week is better than nothing. Just like brushing your teeth, the more you do it, the better you'll feel. And trust me, nobody likes a smelly yogi.
