Yoga for Men at the Revolution Wellness Center Yoga Room in Revolution Mill
Tuesday Evenings - 7:00pm - 8:15pm
|
The class is focused on the male anatomy and its requirements while bringing yoga
mind-body awareness to the participants. Vinyasa flow or yoga with motion is utilized to warm the body before
specific asana's or yoga poses are introduced to stretch and strengthen trouble spots in a man's body.
These will focus on the hamstring, hips and lower back along with the shoulders, upper back and neck where
tightness and imbalance of muscle groups cause stress to other parts of the body. The issue of tightness in
the hip area foster knee alignment problems and lower back pain. The rigidity and forward flexion of the
shoulders and rounding of the upper back can go along with the tightness in the hips but can also lead to
shoulder joint problems and neck pain due to poor body alignment.
Specific poses beneficial to different sports are also introduced to the participants that can improve enjoyment
and participation in many sports such as golf, running and cycling. Balance poses will be used to improve body
and mind focus and redirect the body into a neutral body alignment by redeveloping the strength in both sides
of the body to eliminate the imbalance we have developed over the years.
Strength will also be addressed with poses and movement that requires you to support and move your own body
weight while maintaining body position and control.
And lastly but maybe most importantly we will de-stress the mind and body at the end of each class through a
guided relaxation that will let you leave class feeling more energized and focused than when you walked in to class.
