::: EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT :::
🗣 MAT & IRON IMMERSION
📅 Saturday January 18
⏰ 9:30 - 11:30

Mat + Iron combines the power of weight training with the grace and mindfulness of asana. Weighted movements are woven into the flow, adding focused strength to the benefits of asana, breath work, and savasana. Students will build strength, endurance, and balance while moving mindfully.

Join this workshop for
- 45 minutes of weight training movement tutorials like snatches, turkish get-up, and squatting vs. hinging.
- learning about engaging the core to protect the low back,
- building confidence around combining strength training with asana, or asana with strength training.
- a full 60 minute Mat & Iron flow, with an extended savasana and head massage at the end.

This class uses hand weights. Bring your own weights (one set of 2-8 lbs).
The studio will have a limited supply.
Recommended for students who are familiar with yoga asana.
