Why add yoga to your workout schedule?
Yoga is a tool that works best when practiced as consistently and as often as possible, since we are lengthening muscles, ligaments and connective tissue, and this takes time and — you guessed it, practice!
As some FVT yoga students have said it best, the benefits of yoga are immediate i.e feeling less sore after bootcamp and being able to -finally- touch our toes! However, the truly remarkable differences in one’s body start to show up after consistent practice 2+ sessions per week after 3-4 weeks or so.
Those who practice regularly notice big changes such as lower blood pressure, better sleep, less hip and joint pain even after a hard workout, deeper focus in boot camp, less impulsive eating habits, and eventually, a balanced body, more flexible spine, and wow- even flexible hamstrings!
Our client Minnie T. had some things to say about our restorative yoga class:
“I workout out 3-4 times a week, I also have an autoimmune disease. Over the years I’ve played and tried many sports and activities, along the way I’ve broken a few bones and torn some connective tissue, and that catches up.
I was needing and ready to try a yoga class that would quiet the stress of the day and that would help repair some of the damage that occurs to my connective tissue during boot camp. Yin was the answer!
It is calming, and you are perfect at whatever level of the pose you can do. It calms, energizes and helps me keep moving forward. It’s easy to come to: we know each other so the hesitation or intimidation feeling is not there, it’s convenient and Becky is just amazing!”
Minnie is just one of our FVT yogis that are enjoying the benefits of our restorative yin class. Try out either the Wednesday evening, or our new Sunday morning class and start to feel not only the physical benefits but also the strength of mind, which will exponentially increase with yoga practice.
Come drop in for a class for $15, or buy a 5 class pass for $60. We look forward to seeing you there!
