Functional Alignment

This is a 60 minute class that focuses on the synergy of movement and breath.
It is taught in a heated room at approximately 27-28 degrees.

• Functional Yoga is not another style of yoga but rather an approach to practicing.
• It liberates us for being who we are without excuses or unrealistic expectations.
• It’s an approach that can be applied to everything we do.

This class focuses on the synergy of breath and movement and is a deep dive into body awareness, breathing optimization and movement.

It is designed to deliberately target areas of the body to build strength, co ordination and achieve a functionality and mobilization you might not have experienced before.

This class will leave you feeling, strong, balanced and aligned in your body.

Taught by our Integrative Lifestyle Facilitators, who have trained at University Level in Sports Anatomy and Science, you will be expertly guided and see range of motions, flexibility and capacity for movement you may not have known your body was capable of.

Aesthetics vs. experience

Within Functional Yoga we recognize these differences and honour them. 
Instead of focusing on how you should look when doing a pose – the foot should be here, the knee should point in that direction, the pelvis should align with the front of the mat, etc. – Functional Yoga is more interested in what you experience when doing the pose.

Are you feeling the stretch where you want it to be? Are you strengthening the muscles?

This class is a deep dive into your unique body and a celebration of its ability to have its own capacity and knowledge to move fluidly to create a more flexible, strong and balanced body
