Our classes focus on flexibility and mobility of the hips, hamstrings, and back. They are based on the principles of the science of stretching to quickly make gains in flexibility and increase mobility of the major joints that are generally very tight due to the demands of our modern lifestyle.

The style of yoga we implement is meant to be practiced 1-2 times a week and is a great addition to other exercise programs or interests like, running, biking, cross fit and climbing. We start the class by warming up with a traditional vinyasa style flow and then move into long passive holds and utilize the breath to improve flexibility of tight hamstrings, hips and back.
Yoga breathing is a safe and natural way to quickly affect your autonomic nervous system. Most of us are stuck on autopilot and we’re getting bounced around by our environment leaving us feeling wired and tried, imbalanced and frazzled. Yoga breathing offers many of the same benefits as meditation but is easier to learn, can be practiced anywhere and the results are very predictable.
Muscles stretch best when completely relaxed. When we train for flexibility you actively try and relax all muscles in the body not needed to hold the position.
When we extend the exhale longer than the inhale it turns off the stretch relax, stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system and relieves muscle tension.
Meet or beat previous hold time. The primary factor to make gain flexibility is time under passive tension. Hold times are generally between 2-5 mins.
