Want to take a quick assessment of your core strength and hip mobility?

Try this:

*We’re using this to identify areas of opportunity and identify potential weaknesses that could lead to issues down the road if left unaddressed. Remember that understanding mobility levels is helpful, but it’s not the only way to measure your yoga fitness!

BOAT

– Sit in an upright position with your back flat, core and hip flexors actively engaged, and feet lifted off the floor
– Try to keep your legs extended, arms extended, and body in a V-shape
– Start with the bent knee version, extend the legs for a greater challenge

How’d you do?

If you can’t lift your legs, we need to work on your core and hip flexor strength. You cans start with your feet on the ground and/ore rest your hands on the floor to assist!

If you can’t straighten your legs, we need work work on core strength and hamstring flexibility. You can start with your knees bent / shins parallel to the floor / hands supporting behind the knees!

Sport Yoga is easier for beginners to perform, based on Hatha yoga, covers traditional sports stretching, and includes dynamic movement sequences for all types of athletes and sports!

Classes would be led by yours truly, Certified Sport Yoga Instructor and RYT-200 in training ?

We’d meet once per week for a six to eight week time period (probably during the months of April and May).

The classes would be 45 to 60 minutes in length.

You’d have the option of attending in person OR online.

If there is enough interest, we’ll see if we can put it together!

If not, we’ll save it for next time.
