Mat + Iron
Join Sarah for a fun morning of asana, functional strength, and fun!
- Combine the power of weight training with the grace and mindfulness of asana.
- Weighted functional movements are woven into flow, adding focused strength benefits to the benefits of asana, breath work, and savasana.
- Students will build strength, endurance, and balance while moving mindfully. Recommended for students who are familiar with yoga asana.
- Use dumbbells or body weight, and have fun! No prior lifting experience required.
- Class ends with relaxation, guided meditation, and savasana.
- The combination of yoga and weight training creates an efficient full body practice that targets specific muscle groups, increases heart rate and caloric burn, supports long term health, and provides an opportunity for mind training and focus as students work with higher intensity movements.
