YOGA @ ROYAL DOCKS CROSSFIT!

Saturday 07/02/15

1100-1200

Do you do enough stretching and mobility work?

Katrina Kurdy will be running a free CrossFit specific power Vinyasa flow Yoga session for members following morning class / Physio! Katrina has taught in the US, UK and Asia, and her students include CrossFItters, MMA fighters, athletes and dancers.

The 60 minute trial class will focus on preventing common CrossFit injuries by increasing flexibility, building core strength, and creating a spatial awareness of movement and the body.  Vinyasa Yoga (like CrossFit) is designed to be accessible and scaled, so even if you have yoga experience or want to improve your gymnastic ability, you will be able to push yourself in this class.

This session will be an introduction to Vinyasa Yoga and aim to teach you the basic postures. Vinyasa means ‘breath to movement’ and is a ‘flowing’ exercise that will provide a good cardiovascular workout in addition to improving balance, strength and flexibility.  You will notice the similarities between some of the CrossFit warm-ups (gymnastic movements, stretches, and core exercises) and Vinyasa Yoga. In addition you will also learn about meditation and mind-body awareness to expand the benefits of yoga beyond the physical. We will also practice some inversions to improve your hand stands and balance!

Regular yoga practice will improve your skill set, confidence, strength and flexibility! It’s no surprise that many of the most respected athletes / boxes in the UK / USA now include Yoga in their training schedules!

Yoga for runners! New class starting Wednesday 7th January 2015 plus breakfast offer!

yogaforrunners

January is the month of fresh starts, new training programmes and setting goals!

It is also the month where is dawns on us that we signed up to or a got a place in a big marathon this year!

For runners, training re-starts after the Christmas and new year break. I see a lot of very new and very experienced runners coming in to Physio with niggles after getting back on the road or treadmill. Often one of the causes of ankle, knee hip and lower back pain is a lack of flexibility.

Run fast (http://www.run-fast.net/) know this and have started a ‘yoga for runners’ class at their store right in the City of london (http://www.run-fast-retail.net/) with Katrina Kurdy (http://katrinakurdy.com/yogainfo/).

Classes are well-rounded, with modifications given to make postures more accessible for beginners or more challenging for the experienced.  You’ll build strength, increase flexibility and there will always be a light-hearted inversion or hand-balance to keep it challenging and fun. This class is specifically tailored for runners so you can expect lots of core exercises, glutes work, stability and proprioception work.

Classes are £15 which includes a free coffee and breakfast! Can’t say fairer than that!

Please contact: hannah.walker@run-fast.net to book your place!
