Yoga classes at Serenity
Yoga systematically tones and stretches the body. We offer multiple styles of yoga including gentle relaxation and vinyasa (flow). Yoga offers practitioners balance in mind and body and can be combined with any other recreational activities and sports to improve performance. Yoga has been found to help improve relaxation, mood, balance, flexibility, muscular strength, lung capacity, digestive processes, and cardiovascular endurance. Being flexible is not required to practice yoga, to become flexible is exactly why one should practice yoga. At Serenity we place you into a position to be successful with individual attention by fitting the pose to your body, rather than forcing your body to fit a pose.
Pilates classes at Serenity
Pilates classes are faster paced and have the added benefits of coordination and abdominal endurance. Classes offer flexibility combined with core strengthening and total body conditioning. It will balance the body and improve mental awareness accompanying any activities you perform. Many practitioners find Pilates helps with flexibility, muscular balance, and muscular control. Pilates may also help individuals control lower back pain, hip, shoulder, and other muscular imbalances.
