“Big On Yoga”

 
So, why is everyone so “Big On Yoga?”
Yoga has gained tremendous popularity over more “traditional” exercise classes at many fitness venues throughout the country. Did you know that over 15 million people practiced yoga in 2003, according to a landmark study by Yoga Journal magazine? Beginning the practice of Yoga raises many questions for those looking for a viable exercise to increase flexibility and energy- especially for individuals who may be “of size,” or who may have physical limitations. Most exercise classes lack the “one size fits all” label, and the beauty of Yoga is that it can be practiced at an individual's own pace- even within a class setting.
 
At our introductory class, you will learn about the history, the different styles, and the therapeutic and health benefits of practicing Yoga. During our “Big On Yoga” sessions, you will learn stretches, breathing exercises and asanas (poses) that focus on decompressing joints and lengthening and loosening the body's soft tissues.
 
We welcome any and all persons, regardless of size or physical ability. Learn modified poses and exercises that will work specifically with your individual size and shape. Those who may have previously found themselves uncomfortable in an exercise class setting are strongly encouraged to attend.
 
“Big On Yoga” offers three series; Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced.
Each series will consist of ten, one and a half hour sessions (one per week) and will progress into more advanced movements and exercises. Sessions will be available in both the daytime and evening hours. Early registration is encouraged, as class size is limited.
