In the past few months we have held a restorative yoga class here at FVT, there have been plenty of clients who have enjoyed the active recovery, healing both mind and body. Many might feel hesitation to try it out – especially if they have never done yoga before. Often the question of “Who is yoga for?” comes up.
The answer? Everyone!
You need a little “yin” to your high-intensity “yang”. Recovery work and stretching can get put on the back burner … but you are WELL aware of how valuable these things could be to you, and the benefits that they could provide! In this series – led by Becky Jensen RYT 200 – we will take it slow, easy, and never ask you to take your body anywhere it doesn’t want to go.
Yoga is about self acceptance. Flexibility is a byproduct of yoga practice. There is no competition, no where to “go” with it. We turn inward and learn to sense our body’s cues on a deeper level, to accept where we are with a pose today, and challenge ourselves to stay with it. Usually, it’s more about the strength of mind, which will exponentially increase with yoga practice.
Taking the competitive element out of yoga drastically drops the level of intimidation for a newcomer looking to restore and recover after an FVT workout. All movements and postures are sequenced to be done with your bootcamp workouts in mind, so your shoulders, hips, hamstrings, and low back will reap the rewards of long lengthening holds that will balance the entire body, aid in increasing range of motion, build flexibility and help prevent injury.
We are now adding a second restorative yoga class to our weekly schedule – in addition to the Wednesday 6pm class, we will also offer a Sunday morning class at 8am! With two yoga sessions available, it will be a great time to start practicing and restoring your body with Yin yoga.
You will be able to sign up to reserve your spot for these classes on mind body, and can pay when you arrive to the studio. Drop in price is $15, or buy a 5 class pass for $60.
Starting in February – when we add the new class time – we will also offer options to add 1 or 2x per week yoga on an on-going basis to your existing membership. If this is something you are interested in doing, let us know, and we can discuss details.
We look forward to seeing you there!
