Waxhaw Yoga
Class Descriptions:
Basics: Get back to basics and learn all about the postures that are practiced in most yoga classes. We will move gently through a series of poses and spend time exploring proper alignment and engagement. We will learn simple breathing techniques to help calm and relieve stress.
Vinyasa Flow: Coordinating breath with movement in a continuous flow of postures. This is more vigorous, sometimes called power yoga. You will build strength, flexibility, and stamina, as well as create a sense of calm and ease.
Gentle/Slow Flow: Great for beginners and anyone who wants to slow things down, spend more time exploring each pose, holding for several breaths and moving with ease between postures. Utilizing props helps to make the postures more accessible.
Power: A vigorous, more fitness and cardio based practice. Appropriate for experienced practitioners, power yoga is a full body workout using your own bodyweight to tone and strengthen. Prepare to move and sweat!
Deep stretch: No flow, just long active holds. This stretch class is perfect for beginners, athletes, and anyone who wants to focus on stretching to create more flexibility and range of motion.
Yin: Passively holding postures for 3 to 5 minutes. Yin Yoga focuses on opening not only muscle but connective tissue and fascia as well. Longer holds requires the mind to focus and the practitioner to let go completely. Expect to leave a Yin practice feeling relaxed and refreshed.
