A yoga mat is must, but other props such as yoga blocks, bolsters and/or straps are optional based on personal strength and flexibility. Levels will be offered in the practice to suit a variety of skill levels. Yoga is best practiced while barefoot, wearing comfortable, well-fitting clothing that won’t ride up or get in the way of movement and balance.
Description
This course is designed and instructed by Livia Taylor, who has been a student of yoga herself since 2002. Livia certified in YogaFit in 2009, and received her 200 hour yoga teacher training certificate in 2017.
These practices are intended to give busy people a chance to slow down and focus on a mind-body connection they may otherwise neglect due to daily demands.
Each 30-minute yoga practice is designed with a different emphasis, ranging from relaxation to complementing your other workouts. If you’re a runner, there’s a class to help open the hips; if you’re a weightlifter, there’s a class to help maintain range of motion and open the shoulders; if you’re looking for a pick-me-up, there’s a class to help you find energy to get through the rest of the day. All classes are suitable for beginners.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone who thinks they’re too busy for yoga! This course is designed to show that with just 30 minutes at home, you can find time to listen to your body and give it the workout, stretching and quiet time it needs.
