Why Try Yoga Body Sculpt?
Yoga Body Sculpt strengthens muscles, improves balance, increases flexibility, and tones and shapes the entire body. Stability required in balance challenges and longer-held postures help build a rock-solid core.
What Is Yoga Body Sculpt Like?
Think of Yoga Body Sculpt as a strength-based yoga class. You’ll experience mini flow sequences of 3-4 exercise postures put together and work them on the left and right sides until you feel the burn! Then we’ll shake it off and build another mini flow sequence focusing on other muscle groups. At the end of the class, you’ll feel strong and sculpted, relaxed and refreshed.

How Difficult is Yoga Body Sculpt?
4/10. Yoga Body Sculpt is a great yoga experience for everyone, with options for every movement so you can feel challenged but successful in every class! After a warmup sequence of postures, you’ll learn short combinations of 3-4 exercises that flow together to build strength and mobility in the body. Work it on the left and the right until you feel the burn, then move into a new set of exercises. Cool down in the last 5 minutes with some longer-held poses and brief relaxation, and you’ll walk out feeling on top of the world!
