Attention!

New AM Class!  Go check it out.

Our 7:15am Hatha 1&2 class on Tuesdays and Thursdays
has been reimagined and transformed!

Arrie is now teaching Biomechanics of Yoga with Foam Rolling!

 

Beginning as a typical yoga class with centering, sun salutations, and other postures this class is intended to get your body and mind awake. It will differ from others with a focus on myofascial release and joint mobility, primarily through the use of foam rollers.

Great for anyone interested in increasing their joint mobility from the aging to athletes. What are you waiting for?

See you on Tuesday and Thursday at 7:15am!

Hello All!

Do you know that Arrie has a brother? Well, he does!  Trey Tucker is an accomplished Certified Personal Trainer in Austin and he’s visiting Nacogdoches on October 15th. While in town, he wants to offer a workshop on foam rolling and it just so happens we have brand new foam rollers.  It’s perfect, really. Well, it will be once we have you (or the first 15 students) make a reservation to attend!

Trey Tucker will offer a donation-based one hour workshop to teach techniques and discuss benefits of self-myofascial release or “foam rolling.” 

The basics of how to roll all the major muscle groups will be taught as well as the the benefits and contraindications. The class will consist of basic anatomy identification for better understanding and plenty of time to roll and feel the effects of self-myofascial release first hand. Q&A to follow.
