Mat + Iron Yoga Workshop

Build Strength this New Year!

We're hosting a new form of Yoga called Mat + Iron. A class that combines the power of weight training with the grace and mindfulness of asana. Weighted movements are woven into the flow, adding focused strength to the benefits of asana, breath work, and savasana. Students will build strength, endurance, and balance while moving mindfully.

This workshop will include
- 45 minutes of looking at more in depth poses including weight training movements like snatches, turkish get-up, and squatting vs. hinging.
- learning about engaging the core to protect the low back,
- using our breath to find more mindful power and strength,
- building confidence around combining strength training with asana, or asana with strength training.
- a full 60 minute Mat & Iron flow, with an extended savasana and head massage at the end.

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.

This class uses hand weights. Bring your own weights (one set of 2-8 lbs).
The studio will have a limited supply.
Recommended for students who are familiar with yoga asana.
