Yoga for Women (the 40s and Beyond)
4 BCRPA CEC
Women go through many changes from our 40s and beyond. Perimenopause can begin as early as 40 and with it comes hormone fluxuations that can cause emotional swings, sleep disruptions, weight gain, brain fog and compounded stress. These conditions get worse as we go through menopause and beyond, we begin to lose bone density and muscle mass, resulting in less strength and tone including the muscles of the pelvic floor, which can lead to incontinence and musculoskeletal syndrome associated with Estrogen depletion. In this workshop you will learn how to address these conditions through: using body weight and external resistance for improved bone density and muscle mass, strengthening the core and pelvic floor, balance training for fall prevention and yoga breathing to reduce stress.
Pilates and Yoga are similar in many ways, they both focus on safe alignment, mindful breathing and the importance of the mind/body connection. They are also different, Yoga is about Extensions and Flow and Pilates is about Flexion and Core connection. It is these differences that make a fusion class a full body well balanced experience.This class will combine the Flow of Sun Salutations and standing Yoga postures with the Core focused Pilates exercises.If you are currently a Yoga or Pilates instructor you will come away with the tools to combine new movements into you current classes or design a fusion class. If you are a group fitness teacher or personal trainer, you will get a small taste of the two styles so you can design a fusion class, or add some mind-body movements into your current fitness classes or PT programs.
FitFlow Yoga Core Connection explores the integration between body, mind and breath as the key to strengthening the core in a functional way. From the foundation of mountain pose to more dynamic postures, understanding this connection will benefit your students both on and off the mat. You will learn asanas and sequenced flows to add into your current classes or to offer a specialized core class.
Location: In Person (only 4 spots available) or on Zoom
