Yoga Body Sculpt

Yoga Body Sculpt marries strength and flexibility, mind and body in a flowing sequence of yoga poses crafted to increase your overall athletic performance. Specifically developed as a fitness yoga program, Yoga Body Sculpt provides an inclusive, unintimidating practice that welcomes all levels. Poses are described in simple athletic terms and taught with multiple options so that even if you can’t touch your toes, you’ll feel challenged and successful.  

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.  

Who is Yoga Body Sculpt Best For? 

All levels welcome! Whether you’re an experienced yoga practitioner or have never taken a yoga class before, Yoga Sculpt is right for you! Instructors will be sure to give options that will keep you feeling challenged but successful. The practice will meet you where you are, without judgment. 

Is Yoga Sculpt a Good Workout? 

Yoga Body Sculpt is a full-body workout with so many benefits for the mind and body! 

• Strength. Trains both upper and lower body and emphasizes core strength. This class improves body composition, muscular endurance, increases bone density and boosts metabolism.  

• Balance Balance challenges are the primary focus of class improving coordination, posture and reducing risk of injury. 

• Flexibility and mobility. Yoga-based flow sequences improve posture, decrease risk of injury, increase physical performance and reduce muscle soreness. 

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! 

How Long Is Each Class? 

Yoga Body Sculpt is offered in a 60-minute or a 30-minute express format—check the app to find out how long your class will be scheduled for.  You’ll enjoy a 5-10 minute warm up, followed by short yoga flow sequences including balance challenges, then transition into yoga poses together with strength training exercises, then release and relax with a 5-minute cooldown composed of longer-held stretches and relaxation.  

What Should I Wear? 

Wear Appropriate Clothing. Typically, people wear fitted clothing that will stay put, even in Downward-Facing Dog postures.  

Leave Your Shoes Off. Not only does being barefoot help with your stability, but your overall balance and foot strength will improve as a result of working without shoes or socks on. 

What Do I Need to Bring? 

Plan to bring your own yoga mat. A yoga mat is a thin, sticky mat that will allow you to protect your joints without slipping around when you’re in an awkward position. You’ll be getting up-close and personal to the floor, so having your own yoga mat for Yoga Body Sculpt will keep you feeling so fresh and so clean!
