BroYoga

Tues 6:40 - 7:30pm

(United Reformed Church, Woking)

These are specially tailored Yoga classes to address Mens Health. Targeting tight shoulders, hips and hamstrings and lots of adjustments for prior wear and tear.

Complete beginners to yoga are ideal as well as those with experience.

When you go to your first yoga class, remember that it is not a competition like other forms of exercise. It is a time to make space for yourself. You will start to see many improvements, just keep getting back to your mat and keep putting it into practice. Stick with it and, eventually, yoga will become a way of life.

Yoga needs regular practise; to get the best results from the classes please commit to the whole term. Please book in advance to reserve a space in the class as space is limited. Keep reading below to discover more about the benefits of BroYoga!

7 Benefits of Yoga for Men That Might Surprise You

1. Builds Strength: We all want to be stronger. Yoga brings us lean muscle by using our body weight, which helps builds core, balance and unilateral durability. It also increases blood flow to help the muscles grow.

2. Boosts Productivity: Yoga helps to keep you focused and improves your memory. It gives you that boost of extra energy you need to tackle everything life throws at you with more clarity.

3. Reduces Stress: When you learn to breathe and meditate through yoga, it allows you to stay calm in stressful situations.  There are also poses that you can go into that will slow your heart rate or give you relief in places where you tend to hold stress and tension.

4. Improved Flexibility: Yoga helps improve flexibility, blood flow and gives you more proprioception throughout your body.

5. Injury Rehabilitation and Prevention: The stretching and strengthening of almost all joints, tendons and muscles in a yoga class helps your body both before and after physical activity, providing healing qualities for any of life’s activities, even sitting at a desk all day. Poses will be individually modified to rehabilitate past injuries.

6. Promotes Health and Sleep: Yoga helps boost your immune, circulatory, digestive, excretory, respiratory, skeletal, nervous and endocrine systems. It also helps reduce tension, anxiety and stress, which can help you sleep better.

7. Encourages Weight Loss: Between moving, breathing, and reducing stress, it is easy for men to become more fit and shed some pounds through yoga.
