NEW! Yoga for Strength & Mobility (16yrs+)

Flexibility is the body’s ability to be bent passively. Mobility, on the other hand, is the body’s ability to move through a full range of motion with strength and control. In this series, we will explore how a modern yoga practice that integrates western anatomy and physiology can make us more aware of our body’s core musculature, fascia and innervation, and how they are integrated into our movements, activities, and lives. We will put that knowledge into practice by finding new ways of moving, breathing, and feeling that are both fun and functional and serve us in our unique daily lives.
