Yoga (Kathleen)
Level: Beginner
Thursdays 5:15 pm

Yoga is so much more than a good stretch for the body—it’s a good stretch for the mind and the soul, as well! Round out your work week by coming to this relaxing Level 1 class. Whether you’re a newbie, a seasoned yoga “veteran,” or just plain stressed out, please join Kathleen and Crew for our weekly dose of sanity. NOTE: This class is very intentionally centered on quieting the mind, focusing on the breath, relaxing the body, and slowly but mindfully moving through some of the most beneficial, foundational poses in yoga. We’ll open our hips, strengthen our backs, tone our abs and arms, and increase our flexibility. We’ll quiet our “monkey minds” (sometimes, the biggest challenge of all) and soothe our souls in the process.

Logistics/Need-to-Know’s: Please wear loose, comfortable clothing. Yoga is done without shoes (and, preferably, without socks). Please bring a yoga mat if you have one. Other props (highly recommended but not mandatory) include two yoga blocks, a yoga strap, and a firm blanket.

TRX (Grant)
Level – All
Thursday 5:00 pm

Hang from the durable TRX ropes to push, pull, lift and lower your body through Spiderman moves for a total body suspension workout that also super-strengthens your core. You’ll rotate circuit training style between the TRX and other boot camp style drills. This class is on level B1 in parking coverage – outside, but under cover.
