The Movement Method's hybrid approach to physical and mental wellness puts your yoga and strength sessions into one well-rounded class. All you need is you; no props, weights, bands or anything else is necessary unless you want it.
This class begins with a grounding sequence of breath and movement then transitions into a structured yoga + fitness practice with both dymamic and static work. It's all totally adjustable to your level, with varying options for intensity offered along the way. The class ends with a cool down and stretch portion, a few minutes in a resting pose and some intentional breathing, targeted towards the specifics of each class.
The Movement Method is based off of my own personal practice. After I finally decided to prioritize my health a handful of years ago, I came back to yoga and fitness but I was finding it difficult to make the time to get in both yoga practices and strength sessions. I started focusing on merging both into one and found my sweet spot. The benefits I was experiencing were physical - I was getting stronger, building endurance and feeling more agile - but not only that. I was noticing more mental ease and emotional balance as well.
Try the Movement Method on for yourself, perhaps it just may be the balance you've been looking for.
