What Is Radiant Rise And Shine: Strong And Sweet Flow?

You can consider this Saturday morning yoga practice like a potent brew to set the tone for your weekend. It's strong and sweet inviting you into a balanced sense of energy and relaxation.

Radiant Rise And Shine

This is a morning style class, so there will be an emphasis will be on dynamic movement to meet the time of day. Our movements will be based on the classic Sun Salutations sequence but with some playful variations.

Strong

There will also be some time dedicated to somatic strength training, which means engaging the big muscle groups like quads, glutes and abdominals to support resiliancy, protect our joints and cultivate a strong foundation for all the movements of our spine on and off the yoga mat. This strength training will be done somatically, meaning we do it slowly with focused awareness of our sensory experience and with breath as our guide to stay within a healthy and functional range of motion. We'll get stronger, not only in terms of muscle tone and capacity but also in terms of proprioception (knowing where we are in space) and interoception (knowing how we feel within). These are skills that are invaluable on our yoga mats but more importantly in life!

As we explore somatic strength training, our motto is No Pain, No strain, Huge Functional Gain--yes a bit of a geeky motto, but that's how we roll!

Sweet

The sweet thing is that, as well as approaching both the dynamic movements and the strength training with a basic attitude of friendliness and fun, we offer ourselves the sweetness of restorative yoga to finish--A minimum of 30 minutes devoted to rest to close our morning. if you have never "tasted" restorative yoga, with all the bells and whistles of blankets and bolsters, you'll be amazed how doing nothing can be the most productive thing you can do and I predict restorative may become your favourite part of yoga practice.

Our goal is to work hard, play hard and rest deeply ❤️
