Let’s be honest, lots of us overwork are so as muscle. We sit too much, we drive too much, we do lots of boats and running and hiking and cycling. We don’t always stop to stretch that overburdened muscle. We do that in this class.
This is a vigorous Vinyasa class that is just an all-around work out. We start out with some shoulder stretching, move into a well rounded ladder and finish with a good amount of core. Grab your hand towel, this one gets sweaty.
By request, this practice is heavy on leg strength. I hope you enjoy it! Full disclosure, I found this one very challenging. I tend to gravitate towards upper body focused yoga because that is what’s easiest for me. That said, this is all great work!
LOTS of opportunities to go upside down in this flow. We also work core A LOT. For those of you like me who love to move fast, go upside down, get a full sweat going and work hard in a fitness-y yoga practice, you'll love this one.
Runners, cyclists, hikers: this is for you. By request, this vinyasa class has a focus on stretching the IT band (runs along the outside of the your thigh, starting at your pelvis and connects to your tibia).
By request, we work the serratus muscle repeatedly in this class. Want to do jumpbacks, lolasana, and jump throughs? This is the muscle you need to strengthen. We also take advantage of being warmed up well to work on our jump backs and jump throughs at the end too. This is a really good [...]
Meet my new kittens! Lol... they make a guest starring appearance in this class. Aside from giggling over their antics, we do some yoga. We work several variations of funky dolphin, headstand, and pincha. That's a lot of shoulder work. Enjoy!
By request, this class has core thrown in throughout each flow. We keep it moving and build our ladder flow after flow. I love a good ladder flow! We also go upside down (of course :) ). I really enjoyed this very vigorous practice. I hope you do too! [...]
Just keep moving. That's what we do in this practice. We hit it all and of course we throw in a few inversions for fun!
Mmmm... raise your hand if you love working those hips! (crickets) Ok, me either, but for those of us that do a lot of repetitive forward to back movements like running, hiking, and cycling, it's important that we work mobility into our practices. We also do some extra core work in the practice. [...]
