QUESTIONS
THAT YOU WANT ANSWERED
Why so warm?
In the warm room you can work with your body and muscles in a safer way. The heat helps to prevent or heal injuries, because your veins dilate, allowing for more oxygen-rich blood to reach the muscles. Moreover, the heat stimulates sweating and speeds up the removal of waste and toxins in the muscles.
Do you have to be flexible?
Absolutely not. If you are stiff, you have come to the right place to do something about it. Yoga is for everyone to work on their flexibility, strength, balance and endurance. By regularly attending classes, your flexibility will improve, as well as your entire well-being.
I have an injury, can I still attend a class?
Anyone with a spine can do yoga. No matter your injuries, you can always participate. Depending on your injury adjustments can be made to the postures that are temporarily painful. The rule is: no pain, but come and help heal your body. Due to the heat and the effect it has on your body (for example: the dilation of veins and better circulation) your will recover from your injuries much quicker. So feel free to join a class, but don't forget to inform the teacher about your injury.
