DEEP is designed to prevent injury, restore innervation and assist in the recovery of bladder/ uterine prolapse and diastasis recti.

Soft Flow

 This slow and smooth class is more that just your average gentle yoga practice. We will focus on steady asanas, balance and developing core strength and elongation of certain muscle groups, learning which ones work to keep you head held high as you glide through your daily life. 

 

Proper form helps enhance your carriage strength,  with real-life lessons of delicacy and elegance.  

 

 Why posture’s so important:
Having good posture is about more than looking good. It helps you to develop strength, flexibility, and balance in your body. These can all lead to less muscle pain and more energy throughout the day. Proper posture also reduces stress on your muscles and ligaments, which can reduce your risk of injury.


Improving your posture also helps you become more aware of your muscles, making it easier to correct your own posture. As you work on your posture and become more aware of your body, you might even notice some imbalances or areas of tightness you weren’t previously aware of.*

 

Suitable for anyone wishing to extend their existing yoga  practice in mind and body, stretch tight and sore muscles lengthen their frame in this exquisite hour we will spend together. Open to all levels, notably for dancers and athletes of all kinds needing some restoration. Props included.
