Yoga4Strength

Combine yoga, strength work, balance and core in 60 minutes! This fun, dynamic class will get you moving and feeling strong. It's an all-levels class AND expect a good challenge. The strength exercises can be adapted to suit what you need on that day.

This is not a traditional yoga class!

The class flows between three sections - the first 15 minutes to settle into breath and begin to warm-up with yoga, then 30 minutes to flow through your six exercise strength program, followed by a yoga cool-down and a five minute savasana.

We'll use different equipment for each program in this class. I suggest having two sets of weights - a pair of medium and a single or pair of heavy weights. If you don't have weights you can get creative with what you have around the house like cans, 1-2 litre bottles, jugs or even laundry detergent bottles! 

We also use a resistance band occasionally, they can be purchased at sporting goods store or at a physiotherapy/physical therapist clinic.

Flow Yoga

This full body yoga flow will have a different focus each week and is suitable for beginners and beyond. It's the most like the Flow classes I offer on doyogawithme.com.

The first five minutes of the class we'll relax and settle in, then move into a gentle warm-up from the floor and up to standing, we'll flow through a few sun salutations with standing poses and balances throughout, then move back down to the floor for some seated work before shifting into the cooldown and finishing with a five minute savasana.

We will generally use a chair and two chunky blocks (also called yoga bricks) but you could also use books, sturdy weights you can flip up or even bottles! Blankets and cushions are great for support, to sit on and to keep you cozy.  If you don't have a yoga strap you could use a robe tie, long towel or scarf.
