NEVER MISS A CLASS

Optional Flexiterm for when life gets in the way.

"Strong and Supple" is a comprehensive class that blends the benefits of resistance training with the fluid movements of yoga flows and the rejuvenating effects of relaxation techniques. This class is designed to help you cultivate both strength and mobility in a balanced and harmonious way.

The class begins with a focus on building strength through resistance training. All muscle groups will be targeted in a variety of movements, using body weight and equipment such as dumbbells and resistance bands. The additions of equipment allows for progression and a balance of both push and pull movements that cannot be achieved with a mat class alone.

After the strength-building segment, the class transitions into yoga flows that emphasize fluid movements and mindful breathing, incorporating elements of balance, flexibility, and core stability.

Towards the end of the class, the focus shifts to relaxation and rejuvenation. You will be guided through gentle stretches, restorative poses, and breathing exercises aimed at promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and calming the mind.

"Strong and Supple" offers a well-rounded experience that combines the benefits of strength training, yoga flows, and relaxation techniques. It is suitable for individuals looking to improve their physical strength, mobility, and overall well-being in a supportive and nurturing environment.

If you want a well balanced strength building class that incorporates the fluid movements of Yoga Flow and all the benefits it has to offer then "Strong & Supple" is the class is for you!
