Flow & Flex

About this event

Step onto the mat for "Flow & Flex," a dynamic yoga class that combines the fluidity of Vinyasa with the muscle-building benefits of light weights. This invigorating practice is designed to enhance your strength, flexibility, and endurance while maintaining the graceful flow of traditional Vinyasa yoga. In this class, you'll seamlessly integrate light hand weights into your yoga practice, creating an innovative workout that challenges both body and mind. As you move through a series of flowing sequences, the added resistance of weights will intensify your experience, helping to tone muscles and improve overall strength. Each movement is guided by breath, ensuring that you stay grounded and focused as you build heat and energy within. **NOTE: Please bring your own hand weights! We recommend beginners start with 1-3 lb weights and more intermediate practitioners can bring 3-5lb weights. This practice can also be done without any weights at all. What to Expect: Warm-Up: Start with a gentle warm-up to prep your body, focusing on breath control and setting an intention for your practice. Flow Sequences: Transition into Vinyasa sequences that incorporate weights, with modifications available to suit all levels. Expect poses like Warrior II with curls, Chair Pose with lateral raises, and Plank with tricep extensions. Strength and Balance: Focus on building core strength and improving balance with poses that challenge your stability while engaging multiple muscle groups. Cool Down: Conclude with a calming cool-down sequence and a restorative Savasana and Meditation to relax both body and mind.
