Also suitable for gymnasts, dancers and all-round athletes with some flexibility. We will also include pranayama practice (breathwork) and learn some sanskrit terms.
Gentle Yoga
Has someone suggested that you try yoga for an injury, to improve overall fitness or as a general health enhancement? Curious about what all the talk is about? Join this beginner’s class and experience the calming and centering effects of yoga. This class will introduce basic yoga postures and sun salutations with many adaptations to allow any body to reap the benefits of yoga. It is also suitable for those with yoga experience looking for a gentle, restorative practice.
Apres Ski Yoga
After a good day on the slopes, come in for a class that will stretch you out by the warmth of the fire. This class will include stretches that specifically prevent sore muscles from snow sports. It will also include some restorative yoga postures to calm the nervous system and aid in the treatment of ailments such as stress, insomnia, high blood pressure, chronic pain, low back pain, depression, arthritis, and digestive disorders. Overall a gentle class and suitable for beginners.
Yoga for Stiff Men
“Saying you’re too stiff to do yoga is like saying you’re too dirty to take a shower”. Yoga is the treatment for tight muscles, joints, and connective tissue. Yoga was originally designed for and practiced by men only, thus men have an opportunity to reap the most optimal health benefits of yoga – stress reduction, better balance, better posture, prevention and treatment of chronic health conditions, increased flexibility, etc.
Cardio Sculpt
This 75 minute high energy class is an all-in-one workout designed to increase your optimum cardiovascular fitness and health, while toning and sculpting sexy lean muscles. Circuit training drills will drive your cardio endurance up, and simple yet challenging strength training exercises will create lean and strong muscles. A special focus on balance and strengthening the core, abs and lower back will help skiers and snowboarders excel on the hill while reducing the chance for injury.
