STRETCH YOGA
What is Stretch Yoga?
This class focuses on yoga stretches poses that promote relaxation, restoration and rejuvenation. Restorative yoga poses help relieve the effects of chronic stress, including weakness and fatigue brought on by our daily fast-paced activities.
Instead of being stationary in a posture like in a restorative yoga or yin yoga style of class, in these classes we will add micro-movements in the postures to help free up the body with nice yoga stretches. Never done at a quick pace, these yoga stretches can help free up the body and create space.
Gentle yoga sequences, practised at a slow pace, releases stress and tension from joints and muscles while improving on flexibility and movement. These classes are for those who want to do a online yoga practice that will calm the nervous system and aid in the release of deeply held tensions from the body and mind. This is yoga for men, yoga for beginners and yoga for experts.
