Aqua Yoga

Aqua Yoga: Buoyancy, Breath, and Bliss

Aqua Yoga is the practice of performing yoga poses in water, typically a warm-water pool. The practice leverages the properties of water—buoyancy, resistance, and hydrostatic pressure—to offer a uniquely supportive and therapeutic experience.

What to Expect in a Class

• Buoyant Support: The water's buoyancy supports your body weight, reducing strain on joints.
• Gentle Resistance: Moving through water helps to build strength in a very safe way.
• Improved Balance: The water's constant movement provides a unique challenge to your stabilizer muscles.
• Warmth and Relaxation: Classes are usually held in warm water, which helps to relax muscles and soothe aches.

Key Poses

• Water-modified Warrior II
• Floating Savasana
• Seated twists
• Poses that would be difficult on land, like balancing poses, become more accessible.
