| Lindsey Judd, Yin Yoga Instructor |
We are happy to announce that Yin Yoga classes will be available at NoCoast soon! Classes will run Monday and Wednesday nights at 7:30 PM, starting December 16th. Many of you already know Lindsey Judd, famous for her flexibility and gracefulness at NoCoast. Lindsey, a certified Yin Yoga instructor, will guide you through an hour of restoration that is very much needed for anyone who regularly CrossFits.
Yin Yoga is a gentle way to move fascia, bone and dense tissues in the body by holding yoga poses anywhere from 2-10 minutes. This practice is slow and static, allowing the muscles to relax while exercising the joints to their full range of motion. Yin yoga also stimulates the Parasympathetic Nervous System which can help slow the heart rate, lower blood pressure, promote healing, improve sleep, balance hormone levels, reduce stress and anxiety and return the body to a state of homeostasis. Yin yoga is very beneficial to athletes who tend to over stimulate the nervous system. Yoga, in general, is a great supplement to CrossFit. This type of yoga, in particular, is exactly what your body needs to maintain your body's ability to be in the best positions possible for correct and sound movement in your WODs. After all, flexibility is one of 10 general physical skills of fitness. We'd venture to say it's not on everyone's priority list, so here's an opportunity to open up, stretch out, increase ROM, and reduce your risk of injury!
All yoga classes are FREE through December so give it a shot! No sign ups necessary through December! Just show up.
