Aqua Yoga in Plano

Aqua Yoga provides a fantastic opportunity to learn more thoroughly the connection between breath and the spine.

 

The properties of water create an interesting environment where the buoyancy quality of inhale becomes more apparent and the anchoring quality of the exhale becomes very necessary to stabilize the body in the fluidity of water. Water viscosity provides resistance to movements and the reduced weight experience due to the property of buoyancy allows an individual the opportunity to strengthen weak muscles with less load on the joints. If you have balance issues, you'll find that water is a very safe environment to re-cultivate your ability to stabilize as you move. If you'd like to learn more about how aquatic work can be therapeutic, we recommend this article: https://www.brainline.org/article/why-aquatic-therapy

 

You may have a special condition that makes it extremely challenging to attend a regular yoga class due to weight-bearing on arms being contraindicated or knee and hip issues that make it very difficult to get down to the floor. We actually translate many of the floor work positions to the water environment so that you can still receive the benefit of them without getting down to the floor. Interestingly, muscles that are typically not accessed fully in a land based class are prompted to awaken and work due to the effects of working with the properties of water.

 

We are also happy to share that because we see so many individuals with challenging conditions come together and practice in such a helpful medium, we have created a warm, friendly and encouraging community. Just come visit once and someone will surely greet you and give you a smile. We are proud to be part of the Accessible Yoga Movement. Learn more about it by visiting http://accessibleyoga.org/
