Now more than ever people are turning to strength training to combat the effects of aging, improve bone density, boost metabolism and maintain joint health. Incorporating weights and other resistance training techniques into your personal practice and teaching is an effective and efficient way to harness the many benefits of this side of fitness while also working toward maximizing the flexibility, balance and mental clarity inherent in yoga.
Ā This immersion will give current students and teachers some baseline knowledge and experience that will allow you to begin to tailor a yoga practice that allows for you / your students to achieve strength gains, to increase mobility and agility and to improve overall fitness.
