WHY YOGA?

Yoga is low-impact and can be practiced at any age, anywhere, and at any time. This centuries-old practice will help increase flexibility and develop a better range of motion. Staying consistent with yoga can help with recovery from your workouts, improve core strength, and bring more mindfulness to your everyday life.

Everyone’s body is different, so the yoga postures can be modified as needed to fit your ability. Chris will give you the instruction you need to be successful and take what you need from your yoga practice. This 10-minute yoga stretch is a great way to energize your morning or relax your evening. Sink deeper into each pose as you breathe deeply and experience the calm joy of yoga.

All exercises you perform are your own responsibility and you perform them at your own risk. Always seek the advice of a physician or other qualified health provider before starting any physical exercise, fitness or wellness regiments of any kind.
