Finding Back Relief with Flying Yoga

Whether they suffer from occasional or chronic back pain, sufferers are often desperate to find relief from their discomfort. While conventional wisdom used to be that people who have back pain should lie down and rest until their discomfort subsided, that’s not the prevalent belief any longer in many cases. Today, people are often advised to rest a sore back for a few days at the most before they return to their usual daily activities.

Instead of having to force yourself to get out of bed when you have back pain, why don’t you take a proactive approach and sign up for yoga classes? If traditional yoga is too strenuous for you, you might want to register to flying yoga instead.  Continue reading

Is Barre Just for Dancers?

When some people think of reaching the bar, they think of achieving something. Passing the bar exam is an example of a goal a person may strive to achieve. Getting a promotion, raising a set amount of money for a charity or getting an article published in an industry periodical are examples of other goals you might want to accomplish.

If your goal is to get into better shape, you may want to aim for another kind of bar. Rather than reach for the bar, you may want to sign up for a Barre workout class.  Continue reading

3 Reasons Why Yoga Is Exactly What Your Wedding Party Needs

Let’s be completely honest for a minute. You’re excited about your upcoming wedding day and spending the rest of your days with the love of your life, but the weeks and days leading up to the wedding can be stressful (to say the least) for both you and your wedding party. While you’ve been making all the plans for your big day, yoga probably hasn’t been high on your list – but it should be. 

 

There are plenty of great benefits of yoga for you and your wedding party. This could be why yoga has become the trendy new theme for bridal showers and pre-big day get togethers for the wedding party. Instead of doing the usual bridal shower gig, why not try something new that will calm all those pre-wedding nerves at the same time. Here are just a few of the reasons why your wedding party needs a little yoga escape

 

Time to Bond

 

The people you ask to be in your wedding are those who are nearest and dearest to your heart. No matter how close you are, wedding day stress can put some temporary strain on those relationships and leave everyone a little frazzled. A wedding party yoga event can calm everyone’s nerves, ease stress, and allow you some much needed pure, blissful bonding time with your favorite people before the big day. 

 

Live In the Moment

 

Those days before the wedding are all about looking forward to the future. When so much of your energy is focused on the future, it can be hard to calm yourself down enough to enjoy the special moments taking place with your bridal party. 

 

Yoga encourages you to stop, slow down, and focus on the present. You have a lifetime ahead of you, but this moment will only happen once and it’s happening before your eyes. Getting together for yoga with your bridal party can help you all live in, and appreciate, this moment in time.

5 Easy Yoga Poses Every Beginner Should Master

Every person that has ever walked into a beginner yoga class for the first time has experienced the same thing.
