ALIGN & FLOW YOGA

Each style of Yoga focuses on a different concept or practice, emphasizing (for example) alignment of the body, coordination of the breath and movement, energy flow, or extended poses. Yoga is one of the world’s most popular types of exercise, and is unique in its ability to bring benefits to all regardless of age or ailment.

Yoga for Meatsticks

Have you ever been turned off by traditional yoga but still want a way to increase flexibility? It doesn’t matter what you do in the gym or for sport, the fundamentals of yoga will boost performance, optimize range of motion, and accelerate recovery. This class is designed around the common mobility issues of athletes and lifters and is a more informal environment to practice some classic yoga poses with some modern mobility drills mixed in. Expect to work through flows, but also expect to spend a little longer in postures and potentially use tools like foam rollers and lacrosse balls.
