Aqua Kriya Yoga aims to connect the body and breath, helping to bring an awareness and intention to movement. Experience greater ease and stability by taking yoga off the mat and into the water!
Aqua Kriya Yoga is a fantastic addition to any lifestyle, whether you are an experienced yogi or not. It is simple to participate but challenging for even the most fit individual. Join us for an hour-long class of deep breaths and meaningful movement that will leave you feeling fabulous in your body.
This inclusive discipline has many benefits:
- little to no impact on joints, especially knees, hips and ankles
- improving balance issues, confidence, and awareness
- buoyancy allows for joint access & muscle lengthening
- strengthening the pelvic floor and deep core muscles
- hydrostatic pressure helps regulate blood pressure and allows people to safely exert more effort than they can on land
- community-building among a variety of body types and physical abilities– including pregnant women, those with arthritis, wheel-chair or walker-bound students, students with muscle and/or joint limitations, those who are overweight, stroke & cancer survivors, and the senior adult community– who can practice safely alongside one another.
For women in perimenopause, aqua yoga also helps reduce hot flashes and invite a deep, restorative sleep by resetting your nervous system.
