When you hear the word “functional”, think of how our bodies function in daily life.
Imagine:

• Feeling more comfortable and at ease in all of your movements
• Learning body alignments that allow you to more easily open heavy doors, lift ice chests or heavy grocery bags
• Getting up and down from chairs and couches, in and out of the car with little effort, gracefully
• Getting down to feed your dog or cat, put on your shoes, or play with a child… and it’s no big deal!
• Having the balance and strength to confidently climb a stepstool or ladder
• Achieving the range of motion to comfortably reach something off your closet shelf or up in your kitchen cupboard.

These are some of the meaningful results you can approach with regular attendance at a Functional Movement Yoga class
