It's TRX Yoga!!
 
(See Tom and Christine in the back row?)
 
...and it's coming to 
 Liberty Yoga!
     TRX Yoga is something that has been in the works for some time now and finally---it is here! From the moment Christine took a TRX class she knew that this type of training was essentially Yoga. It uses the same principles of yoga asana which is strengthening by using your own body weight.
     Christine is now a certified TRX teacher and has designed a Fun and dynamic Yoga class using the TRX suspension training straps to enhance your total body flexibility and strength while working the whole kinetic chain.
TRX uses the Foundational Principles of 
Plank, Pull, Hinge, Rotate, Press, Squat & Lunge
The focus is on "Active Plank" which is essentially Mountain Pose: precise alignment in all positions AND "Stability and Mobility". 
 
By taking the TRX Yoga class with the suspension straps you can:
*Improve overall fitness
*Increase arm and core strength
*Improve balance 
*Become stronger and leaner
*Enhance your Yoga practice
It's NEW! It's Strengthening! It's uplifting! It will enhance all of your Yoga Practices!
 
Just these little straps can do all of that! 
We will be installing them in the Eagle Room in December. 
Classes begin in January!
