yoga for dessert

I sit here trying to buy a new pair of sneakers and am being bombarded by the plethora of choices and all I really want is a pair of shoes that fit and provides good support so my back doesn’t hurt when I walk around in them all day.  I’ve spent weeks trying to discern all the technical nomenclature and jargon to no avail.  They even advertise shoes for yoga.  What?  They look like sneakers to me and you definitely shouldn’t wear them to yoga.  Shame on you marketers for trying to jump on the yoga band wagon and trying to sell me something that isn’t right for yoga.  And shame on you athletic foot wear marketers for not making your life easier.  I want to give you money but I can’t figure out what I need.  Oh wait I’n a marketer in my day job.  Hmmmmm.

So. . .  I see that yoga mats are going that way with so many choices, thicknesses, materials.  You can buy yoga mats anywhere, even the grocery store!  Lots of mats are advertised as yoga mats when they shouldn’t be.  So buyer beware!

Here are the key things to look for when buying a yoga mat.

I designed this program for people who are new to yoga and for those who have been practicing that want to revisit foundational technique. When was the last time you took a yoga class and they actually taught you how to do down dog?  All the poses will be be broken down and careful explanation will be given so that everyone can achieve success.  In yoga, just like in other sports, when you learn to use the right muscles, you can accelerate your progress and build both strength and flexibility, but most importantly prevent injury.  After a single 60 minute class, you will already feel a difference.  

I designed this curriculum so that we will rotate and focus on a different part of the body each week so that we achieve balance.  You don’t have to take these classes in order.  They are each stand alone and every class is different.  Everyone can do yoga.  If you can breath, you can do yoga.  I can’t wait to see you in class.  Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
