Many doctors recommend walking or jogging as a great form of exercise not only because it is great cardio, but it also gets you outdoors for fresh air and sunshine. However, residents of Pennsylvania know all too well how harsh winters can be. So consider getting your exercise indoors at Yoga Loft Bethlehem so you can stay warm while also helping your body.

There are lots of different classes to suit the type of yoga you want to practice. If you have never tried a class, you can start with a beginner course. The Yoga Loft has weekly classes that are part of a six-week series that helps you learn the basics, no matter what your fitness level. People who have not been to a class in a long time may also take it as a refresher course.

There is also Restorative classes that help you feel rejuvenated. These use relaxation techniques and poses, as well as bolster blankets and props to help your body position itself in a supportive way. You stretch in ways you likely never have before. There is also Yin poses, which lets you hold poses for long periods of time to maximize your energy flow. This helps you feel vital and younger with continued practice.

Pregnant women do not have to stop taking classes. They simply can sign up for special prenatal classes that teach you techniques to prepare you for breathing and giving birth. Flexibility is also addressed, as well as strength. You will also learn postnatal stretches and techniques for post pregnancy.

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.

There is more at this studio than just yoga, as evidenced by the popularity of their Pilates classes. These help build muscle and flexibility but are low impact, meaning you can do them if you have joint issues or similar conditions. If you love Pilates but also want to try and mix it up or do something a little different, consider the Barre + Pilates classes. These mix in some ballet type moves for fun and flexibility.

Another type of class that you may enjoy is Tai Chi. This is an ancient Chinese practice that invokes the mind and spirit as well as the body, helping you get in tune with all three. This discipline helps increase the energy flow throughout the body while building strength and muscle. It is a great workout for people who have balance issues, cardiovascular problems, or even arthritis.

Some people are unsure if a certain discipline is for them, so you can ask to try a class for free for a single sessions to figure out if you like it or not. Once you do decide, you can then go for individual classes and pay as you go, or buy a pack of 10 at a discount to save some money.
