for you.
If your goal is to decrease pain and increase flexibility, a gentle hatha yoga or viniyoga may be suitable.
Those looking to get in touch with themselves may enjoy a Kripalu yoga class
which emphasizes creating a safe place
for students to release
emotional baggage. Athletes looking to cross train or anyone looking to
lose weight may be
attracted to power yoga or
Ashtanga yoga.
Regardless of the style of yoga, students who practice regularly will
slow down the aging process, improve mobility,
increase energy, and stimulate the nervous system. Immediate affects include increased
balance, strength and flexibility
and mood. And the best reason to practice yoga is plain and simple -it feels good.
ADDITIONAL INFO:
Group classes are designed to give results, in a fun, safe and positive environment. Private sessions allow for
personalized attention, and programming is specific to each client’s goals, anatomy and physical limitations.
New students are encouraged to take one or more private sessions before jumping into a group class. This allows the
student to learn proper alignment, terms and general guidelines and principles to ensure their safety in a group setting.
