Do you ever wonder why I call my classes Soft Strength?
Soft Strength prioritizes fluidity, ease, and inner resilience with a no-judgment approach to movement. The Soft Strength approach emphasizes internal body awareness, breath, and mindfulness.
This practice will help you listen to your body and understand its strengths and limitations. Rather than avoid discomfort, you’ll learn to confidently test the edges of your comfort zone. Venture beyond restriction to discover freedom and joy in movement.
What can you expect in a Soft Strength class?
This unique group fitness class blends functional strength and mobility training with the mindful practices of yoga, Pilates, and somatic movement (Feldenkrais). It focuses on building strength, coordination, and balance through purposeful, controlled movements.
Whether a fitness beginner or a seasoned athlete, these classes offer a supportive environment to improve strength, flexibility, and balance.
Use what we do in class to feel better when you’re not in class.
You will experience FLOW from a new perspective, not necessarily moving from pose to pose but from small to larger movements. You’ll gain new skills and awareness to apply to familiar postures.
What we do in Soft Strength classes is inspired by a variety of sources, from movement therapists and strength coaches to dancers, weight lifters, and athletes.
We use props you may have seen in traditional yoga classes, as well as props you may have never seen, like dowels and rubber balls. Students have told me that using these props can feel like a dance as they learn to use them in unexpected ways.
If you have years of yoga experience looking for something that feels familiar but offers more variety, it’s time to try Soft Strength. The skills you learn will support your yoga practice and everything you choose to do off the mat.
I want you to move well!
