PRIVATE YOGA TRAINING

We are currently working on the logistics to offer private yoga training.  Check back in the near future for a listing of our private yoga trainers.

Yoga

Yoga is designed to relieve stress, improve balance, strength, flexibility and boost the immune system. The Sports & Rec Center offers Hatha Yoga, control of the body and mind. Each session focuses on learning basic yoga poses and progressing toward stringing postures together. Our Yoga program offers beginner, mixed levels, and intermediate level classes to meet your needs.

Chair Yoga

This class is especially for those who, due to age, health issues, injury, weight challenges or limited balance or mobility find it difficult to get down on the floor. Now a chair becomes your mat! Just about any pose that can be done standing, sitting or lying on a mat can be adapted to sitting on a chair. Everyone, beginner to advanced, is accommodated as each pose is presented in multiple levels of flexibility. The class includes breathing, stretching, strengthening, relaxation, and fun – all while sitting on a chair.

Gentle Yoga

Gentle Yoga embraces moment-to-moment mindfulness through fluid breath. It incorporates gentle physical postures, breathing exercises, and guided relaxation. This class is especially good for anyone who needs a less active yoga practice.

Joint Freeing Chair Yoga

This class is designed to work every single joint in the body. Instead of getting on and off the floor, you will use a chair as your base. This special yoga class is great for cancer and heart patients and especially for those with Rheumatoid Arthritis or other physically-limiting ailments.

Mixed Levels Yoga

These yoga classes are designed to accommodate anyone who wants to take a Yoga class no matter your experience. You will learn both basic and advanced poses that will help you learn how to breathe, stretch, and relax.

50+ Yoga  NEW!!!

This yoga class is for anyone who is 50 years of age and over. You will learn how to release tension and melt away stress through gentle stretching, breathing, and balance exercises. Yoga poses may be modified according to your body’s needs.

Yoga for Vets  THIS CLASS IS ON HIATUS

Core and Tone

Experience a total body workout. The class consists of exercises to stabilize and strengthen the core muscles (back, hips, glutes and abdominal muscles), sculpt upper and lower body muscles with hand weights and stretch the body to improve flexibility. There will be an emphasis on proper alignment for safe and effective results. All levels of experience welcome. Modifications of all exercises will be given if needed. If possible, bring a mat or blanket and a bottle of water.

Pilates

This workout is a non-impact, non-weight bearing system of physical conditioning that focuses on body placement and increasing awareness of the body’s capabilities and untapped resources. Pilates makes bodies fit and strong by slimming the muscles and making them longer and leaner. This class will work the abdomen, lower back, and hips to make it a more firm, central support system for your body. You will need a mat, water and towel.

For more information on these classes, contact Josh Beasley or call (972) 596-6073.

Equipment including hand weights, mats, and towels are provided for this class. This class is ongoing. No fee or pre-registration is required.
