We have teamed up with A Pathway to Health to provide our workforce with a free functional yoga classes for staff. There's online classes which are pre-recorded and can be accessed on any internet enabled device, plus new live virtual and in person offerings.
You can watch Jane's welcome video for more information about Jane and the classes.
Jane who is the instructor, said 'Functional yoga is a modern approach to practice yoga and to re-educate our bodies. Functional yoga, in LYT style, (pronounced 'lit') is created from a physical therapist and has been designed to create smarter, better and safer movement patterns. Most of us don't realise the unconscious and habitual patterns we move around in, like forward head, rounded shoulders and tipped pelvis.
Establishing a neutral spine to paramount and making smaller movements to bigger movements to help remap movements in the brain. Developing adaptability, quicker motor firing and endurance are some of the many things it helps with.
It's an intelligent practice that weaves the other aspects of yoga in. It feels amazing, not just because of the posture alignment but that truly aligns the breath, chakras and energy (yoga energy and earth energy) every class'.

This class is available to my local students and Mersey Care employees who have signed up for online classes. It will be great opportunity to meet in person and ask any questions and encourage more movement accountability.
