YOGA CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Hot Vinyasa Flow
Hot Vinyasa Flow is practiced in 95-98 degree heat. 'Vinyasa Flow' is to link breath between each posture, flowing from one movement to the next to create heat and suppleness in the mind and body. Focus is on balance, power, fluidity, flexibility and alignment while continuing to emphasize the fundamentals of yoga. Melt away years of stress and cleanse your body of toxins as you strengthen and stretch. Please arrive well hydrated.
Please note: Thursday 8pm class is our donation class. Drop-in fee not required, minimum donation of $10. Students $5.00. Class cards may be used.
Warm Vinyasa Flow
This class incorporates all the same aspects as our Hot Vinyasa, except we turn down the heat. The room will be "warmed" to 80-85 degrees, so if you have never practiced hot yoga before, or you just find the extreme heat too much, give this class a try!
Prenatal Yoga
Enter, you and your unborn baby into a calming, warm and relaxing atmosphere that will benefit you both in unlimited ways. These classes will help you to reduce pregnancy related anxiety, thus helping allow you to enjoy your pregnancy on a deeper level and increase the bond between you and unborn baby. Did you know, that when you take the time to fully relax, the oxygen supply to your baby increases?
These friendly, and non-competitive classes will include relaxing breathing techniques, safe & gentle movement and stretches, gentle foot massages, handouts that cover pregnancy related issues ie) heartburn, Kegels swollen legs and feet, etc. You will also have the opportunity to share your experiences in a safe and supportive environment, and to further explore the miracle of pregnancy and childbirth.
Guided, gentle movements and postures gently massage your baby; creating an inner memory of calmness and relaxation that your baby will carry within them indefinitely.
Prenatal Yoga has been proven to increase the production of endorphins which have very strong pain relieving effects. It also can increase DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) which not only supports the immune system, but can also enhances brain biochemistry; helping to prevent sadness and depression before and after the birth of the baby.
Please note:
*You should always receive permission from your Doctor before starting a new exercise.
*Space is limited to ensure an intimate atmosphere.
*If you don't have a current regular yoga practice, it is best to wait until the second semester before starting prenatal yoga.
If you would like any further information on the benefits of Prenatal Yoga, or if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to e-mail info@yloft.ca.
