Introduction to Yoga Tune Up®: Whole Body Tune Up
This three hour workshop will take place on Saturday 6th March from 10:00am -1:00pm at the Paddington Sports Club on Castellain Road W9 1HQ. The workshop is ideal for beginners and experienced students alike.
Yoga Tune Up is a whole body fitness system which combines elements of yoga, calisthenics and body therapy through a unique set of poses and sequences that focus on discovering and healing your “body blindspots.”
The workshop will explore the hips, back, core and shoulders to help students feel stronger and more balanced, offering specific tools to reduce stress and ease aches and pains. Yoga Tune Up strengthens and stretches muscles simultaneously, using Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation techniques (often used in Pilates and physiotherapy). A consistent Yoga Tune Up practice reaches all the way down to the joints, tendons, and ligaments, giving your body the necessary foundation for preventing injuries and maintaining strength. This helps to restore physical imbalances, improve coordination and increase flexibility, all while relieving painful injuries, easing chronic muscle tension and reducing stress. The system is also effective in building bone density and losing weight.
