Yoga-Lates workouts will...
Create
an evenly conditioned body
In
conventional workouts, weak muscles tend to get weaker and strong muscles tend
to get stronger. The result is muscular imbalance - a primary cause of injury
and chronic back pain. Yoga-Lates
conditions the whole body - even the ankles and feet. No muscle group is
overtrained or undertrained. Your entire musculature is evenly balanced and
conditioned, helping you enjoy daily activities and sports with greater ease and
less chance of injury.
Train
efficient patterns of motion
Yoga-Lates
exercises train several muscle groups at once in smooth, continuous movements.
By developing proper technique, you can actually re-train your body to move in
safer, more efficient patterns of motion - invaluable for injury recovery,
sports performance, good posture and optimal health.
Improves
the mind-body connection
Yoga-Lates
gets
your mind in tune with your body. By emphasizing proper breathing, correct
spinal and pelvic alignment, and complete concentration on smooth, flowing
movement, you become acutely aware of how your body feels, where it is in space,
and how to control its movement. The quality of movement is valued over quantity
of repetitions. Proper breathing is essential. Correct breathing helps you
execute movements with maximum power and efficiency. Last but not least,
learning to breathe properly can reduce stress.
No
other exercise system is so gentle to your body while giving it a challenging
workout. Many of the exercises are performed in reclining or sitting positions,
and most are low impact and partially weight bearing.
