Yoga with Weights

$45 | Saturday, August 22nd, 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm

One of the many beautiful things about yoga is it has built-in weight bearing. Every standing pose bears weight. Think table, down dog, plank, and arm balances. Adding weights to your practice is like adding sprinkles on ice cream.  Or gravy on mashed potatoes.

Join Jane as she takes you through a Hatha practice with weights designed to:

1. Add challenge to poses you may have been practicing for years.

2. Increase bone density. Bones l-o-v-e when we increase their load in a healthy way.

3. Improve heart health. Using weights challenges the heart to create more blood flow to working muscles.

4. Foster focus and attention. Weights add a whole other layer of consideration in your practice.

5. Build strength and feel great!

For this session, light weights are recommended, 2 – 5 lbs. No weights at home? No worries. You can use canned food or cartons of broth. Anything easy to hold in your hand works just fine. Open to everyone!
