Yoga Loft Bethlehem Classes And Offerings

By Peter Martin


There are lots of ways to get some stretching and exercise to help you get or stay healthy. However, when you live in Pennsylvania, the harsh winters can make it hard to get outside and walk, jog or run. That is why you should consider Yoga Loft Bethlehem, which is indoors and open all year, allowing you to work on your body and spirit no matter what the weather.

Some people think you have to be in shape or have a lot of flexibility to do yoga, but this is simply not true. Beginner classes exist, and you can take a full six-week course of beginner's lessons at the Yoga Loft. In fact, it is only one class per week, so it is low impact and lets you learn at your own pace. Those with past experience find it to be a great refresher, too.

Once you graduate from beginner, you can take Restorative classes that help you feel stronger and healthier through the use of relaxation techniques and breathing. Bolster blankets, pillows and other props are also used to stretch. There is also Yin classes that allow for longer poses to really stretch your muscles and keep your energy flowing. With continued practice, Yin can help you feel younger and more lively.

Even if you are pregnant, you can easily take special prenatal yoga classes. These focus on helping you prepare for the miracle of childbirth with special stretches that focus on a pregnant body as well as breathing. You also get to learn some postnatal stretches to help you after you have given birth.

After you give birth, you can take your child to age-appropriate classes. These are set up to help your kid with their strength building and flexibility, but also to help them get a positive self-image which can really help them later in life. They also get to make friends with kids their age, which teaches some very important social skills that help them in school and all throughout their life.

This studio does more than just teach yoga though. If you want a more active workout, you can choose a Pilates session instead. These help to improve your muscle tone, posture, and flexibility using resistance exercises. These are mostly low-impact, so are good for people with joint or cartilage issues. There are also Barre + Pilates classes that combine traditional pilates with ballet-inspired exercises as well.

Tai Chi is another discipline that is offered here. This is a form of martial arts that help you get in touch with your spirit and mind as you move. It also helps with energy flow and strength and is great for people who have arthritis or balance issues. It may also help with cardiovascular issues, and many people see positive increases in length and quality of sleep with regular practice.

If you are not sure that any of these classes are for you, then you can ask to take a single class for free to see if it is a good fit. If it is, then you can either pay as you go for individual sessions, or try buying a pack of 10 or more classes to save some money as you get fitter and healthier.
