Get And Stay Healthier With Yoga Loft Bethlehem

By Peter Martin


Walking or even jogging are great ways to get or keep your body fit, while also enjoying the fresh air. Unfortunately, if you live anywhere where it snows in winter a lot, such as Pennsylvania, you cannot do this exercise all year. That is why places like Yoga Loft Bethlehem are so great because you can get your exercise in no matter what Mother Nature has in store.

Some people think you have to be in shape or have a lot of flexibility to do yoga, but this is simply not true. Beginner classes exist, and you can take a full six-week course of beginner's lessons at the Yoga Loft. In fact, it is only one class per week, so it is low impact and lets you learn at your own pace. Those with past experience find it to be a great refresher, too.

Once you graduate from beginner, you can take Restorative classes that help you feel stronger and healthier through the use of relaxation techniques and breathing. Bolster blankets, pillows and other props are also used to stretch. There is also Yin classes that allow for longer poses to really stretch your muscles and keep your energy flowing. With continued practice, Yin can help you feel younger and more lively.

Pregnant women do not have to stop taking classes. They simply can sign up for special prenatal classes that teach you techniques to prepare you for breathing and giving birth. Flexibility is also addressed, as well as strength. You will also learn postnatal stretches and techniques for post pregnancy.

Once you have given birth to your baby and they get a little older, you can bring them to the studio and sign them up for special child sessions. These help build strength and flexibility just like adult classes, but also help with self image and social skills. They get to interact with other kids and learn the meaning of sharing and friendship as they get in some vital exercise that keeps them healthy.

This studio does more than just teach yoga though. If you want a more active workout, you can choose a Pilates session instead. These help to improve your muscle tone, posture, and flexibility using resistance exercises. These are mostly low-impact, so are good for people with joint or cartilage issues. There are also Barre + Pilates classes that combine traditional pilates with ballet-inspired exercises as well.

Tai Chi is yet another offering here, one that helps get you in tune with not just your body, but your mind and spirit as well. It does so through poses and other techniques that focus on breathing and form for a low-impact workout. People with arthritis and cardiovascular issues really benefit from this, as well as those with any kind of balance issues. Tai Chi also helps with energy flow.

Some people are unsure if a certain discipline is for them, so you can ask to try a class for free for a single sessions to figure out if you like it or not. Once you do decide, you can then go for individual classes and pay as you go, or buy a pack of 10 at a discount to save some money.
