Musculo-Skeletal Focus

Why is Yoga so important to us?

It teaches alignment based movement that can re-train the body to self-correct when slouching at a desk, picking up a box, or doing other exercise. 

Yoga teaches us to create a neurological connection from our brains, our conscious thoughts, to our bodies, moving automatically sometimes.

Finally, it is designed for all body types; it is an inclusive set of movements for strengthening and improving flexiblity.

Yoga Fundamentals

Our most popular yoga class that introduces the essential parts of a Yoga practice including breath control, yoga postures for strength training and flexibility, and relaxation. In person, the instructor teaches to the people who attend, offering props and instruction to balance the dominant movement patterns and stress from work and daily living.

Yoga for Strong Posture

Strengthen and stabilize supportive muscles so that the natural curves of the spine are brought into balance. Learn breathing exercises to decrease strain in the nervous system.

Yoga for a Healthy Back

(mat or chair based)

Yoga has been proven to be one of the best solutions for general back pain.  Learning how to properly stretch all the hamstrings, the different areas of the gluteal muscles, the IT band, calves and improving the range of motion in the hips can compltely shift the feeling in the back. It's not always about stretching the back, but also noticing the whole anatomy train that creates symptomatic back pain.  

Micro-Resets

(Pre-Recorded or live instructed, virtual)

This program can be  on-demand pre-recorded 6-13 minute classes accessed by staff any time of the day. One of our clients coupled a break-room QR code with the different videos:  Leg strengthening, stretching, spine mobility, shoulder stretch, ball massage, relaxation and more. 

As a live-instructed, virtual class this can be 15-20 minute classes run daily or weekly to integrate musculo-skeletal imbalance solutions for your staff. If you already have a stretching video or sheet that your factory floor or manual labor employees use, ask yourself: are they doing it correctly? Would I know, or the employee know, which is the most effective and ineffective ways of doing the stretches? Don't waste your time with outdated solutions and try the Micro-Reset program to create a soultion that fits into a busy workday and employs effective tools for daily living, pain-free.

Yoga for Healthy Aging and Joints

Recommended as a virtual class

This is an essential class for athletes, those who are over 40, and those who think they can't do yoga. In practice, we use the floor and the support of bolsters, cushions and pillows to rehydrate the connective tissue through long-hold yoga postures. It improves joint freedom, range of motion, and long term flexibility. A great relief for those with arthritis and those who cannot do a more rigorous yoga class. 

Fit-ing it in

Often the most difficult thing about exercise is devoting time to do it on a regular basis. We get to it once a week, or once every two weeks, but research shows that daily exercise, even 20 minutes of it, is essential for heart health, slowing aging, and maintaining emotional and mental health. Try this class with Kellie who will teach you a way to create a habit of exercise for 20–30 minutes each day. We will practice a full body strength workout that will be recorded for you (for virtual clients) to use on your own again.

Yoga for Tech Neck & Shoulder Strain

Targeted relief for computer users. Stretch your fingers, wrists, arms, and shoulders in new directions with exercises designed to alleviate strain and tension. Your body deserves this reset.

Yoga for Strength and Stability

As we age balance can become a challenge. This class includes many poses to develop strength as well as stability and stamina.  Mentally class can help you to manage stress through regulated breathing and body awareness. 

Practical Yoga for Range of Motion

Scratching our back, reaching to the back of the cabinet, and tying our shoelaces are times when we appreciate our flexibility. This class highlights functional range of motion. Practicing yoga can decrease recovery time after sports, injuries, or seasonal activities like shoveling.
