YOGA/ STRETCH
A combination of yoga and stretch is important to everyone. Understanding how to use a variation of both (as some poses intertwine) can be very beneficial to:
- Help relax or release the muscles after a workout
- Relieve the body of chronic or acute injuries
- Free the body and mind from stress
- Allow the body to flow or move freely
- Prevent injuries (sprains, strains, tears)
- Help recovery from falls or accidents
- Rehabilitate
Sometimes we feel pain or restriction in a muscle or joint, and it can be as simple as a deep stretch in the area to help alleviate the problem. Variations of stretches and yoga poses can increase the range of motion and prevent the issue from reoccurring. While we need stabilization in our joints, too much can be problematic. We shorten the muscles when we move and workout, therefor finding a balance is key to preventing future issues. There are lots of different ways to incorporate stretches and poses, so if one doesn't work for you there are plenty of alternatives and modifications!
Stretch/ yoga can be done as a whole class on its own, split or added to your personal or small group training session. Package deals in combination with your training sessions is possible, please call for more details!
