Yoga + Weights 1

About this event

Yoga with weights Adding weights to your practice is like adding a layer of chocolate sauce to your favorite ice cream. In Yoga for Weights we’ll add light to moderate weights to yoga poses in sequences and sets that challenge your practice. This is a strength training class with a mindful, sensory perspective – slow, with your breath, to feel every movement. Warm up and cool down with somatic practices that prepare the body through gentle repetitive movements and help us tune in to internal sensations, prepare the body and cool to finish. You’ll leave feeling strong and energized. This class will help you: · Build muscle mass, strength and endurance · Increase bone density and prevent osteoporosis · Improve heart health as the heart works harder to send blood flow to the muscles to support additional weight. · Improve balance, focus and concentration (yes, balance poses too). · Strengthen respiratory efficiency and effectiveness. · Target stabilizing muscles you need for more challenging yoga poses like chatarunga or navasana Weights will be provided.
