To be fit like a dancer, you need to achieve good posture and flexibility. Nothing can take your body to the next level of flexibility like Yin Yoga offered at Yoga South. This unique yoga class is a favorite among athletes because each movement is centered on holding a stretched pose for two to three minutes. It may seem somewhat excruciating as the 75 minutes of stretching wanes on, but time flies as your body unwinds, lengthens, strengthens and tones. Instructor Tammy Heckman guides beginner, intermediate and advanced students through the class, ensuring safety and results. Yin Yoga classes are offered Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 12 p.m.
