Bored with your regular old yoga classes and willing to try something new? Check out a few of the hot new trends in yoga this year.
AntiGravity Yoga
Cirque du Soleil meets yoga in an AntiGravity Yoga class. Stretching and holding poses from a suspended flowing fabric hammock, like a soft trapeze. You’ll learn inverted poses to help relieve compressed joints and align the body.
Iron Yoga
Where body sculpting meets power yoga. A full body 60 minute workout using 2-5 pound dumbbells for the upper body while performing a series of power yoga poses for the core and lower body. So think warrior two with a bicep curl and shoulder raise.
Sounds like a good idea since yoga doesn’t hit the arm muscles the same way weights can, but certainly not good for someone who is new to yoga or has not mastered power yoga on its own.
Hip Hop Yoga
Where Jay Z meets downward dog. A high energy flowing yoga class with loud music to rock out to. Not your soothing and relaxing yoga class. At YogaHop in Santa Monica, CA they have two yoga rooms labeled “East Coast” and “West Coast”. Werd.
Pole Yoga
Pole Yoga combines Hatha yoga postures with teachings on how to enliven your inner sexual goddess. All postures utilize the pole in the studio.
Buddha Camp
Buddha Camp is a completely original and enlightened BOOT CAMP workout for the yoga studio that fuses principles of yoga, tai chi, rotating, gyrating moves, and Pilates. Using only your body weight–no equipment!–this unique workout emphasizes fitness of your body and mind.
