Yoga for Pull Strength
Traditionally, yoga kinda sucks for building pull strength! With just our bodyweight and a yoga mat, yoga is a very 'push' bias activity and all the muscles along the back of the body get a little neglected. But this class puts an end to that!
This is a typical vinyasa flow style class, with pull strength movements interwoven throughout class through use of a resistance band. Sculpt yourself some strong, functional back muscles, which is so valuable for improving your posture and reducing aches and pains in the upper back.
