We all want to enjoy healthy functional movements throughout our life.

Movements like bending over to pick something up, pulling something down from a high shelf, or simply sitting down and standing up. Our yoga practice can support functional movement both on and off the mat. In this two hour workshop we will break down the foundations of an empowered and safe yoga practice to keep you moving and grooving for years to come. This includes:

• What is Yoga? ~ a brief exploration of what yoga is to you, 8 limbs of yoga, brief history of yoga
• Key movement concepts for a safe yoga practice 
• Breathing and its role in yoga 
• How to use yoga props
• Modifications, developmental movements, and layered sequencing to empower you to choose the best posture in any given yoga class
• How meditation and intention can amplify your practice

In this FUNctional approach to Yoga 101 we will use the LYT Yoga method to improve brain to muscle function, reinforce common yoga poses, breathing techniques, balance, and improve proprioception (where your body is in space). The LYT Yoga Method was developed by physical therapist Lara Heimann. 

Nikki has been a certified yoga instructor for over 10 years and a certified LYT instructor for 3 years. 

Please come prepared with a notebook, pen, and one small item you hold dear. Examples include: a stone, statue, coin, jewelry, picture.
