Absolutely Yoga is a new
addition to the HCAM lineup that brings yoga classes to
you in the comfort of your home and at your convenience on the
web! Every show will feature a 50 minute all-levels yoga class
complete with a guided relaxation (savasana) at the end. Each episode will be hosted by a certified
yoga instructor from the staff at
Absolute Yoga studio in Hopkinton. You’ll enjoy a different
theme with every show—from “Building Core Strength” to
“Hip Openers for Stress Reduction”—and the variety of the
classes will challenge you as well as nurture your mind, body and
spirit. Every yoga class on ABSOLUTELY YOGA will invite you to
increase your strength and flexibility, encourage deeper
breathing, and promote mindfulness that will carry you through
your day. We’ll close each show with an educational segment that
may cover anything from speaking of the benefits of a regular yoga
practice to a practical aspect of yoga philosophy that you may
find interesting.

Each class on Absolutely Yoga is
taught with an “all-levels” approach and is suitable for newer
as well as experienced yoga students who are in good health. In
addition to the yoga instructor, each show will include two
students for visual guidance as well as verbal instruction. One
student will demonstrate modifications for viewer participants who
are building their strength and endurance or who simply need an
alternate pose option. Some prior yoga experience is helpful for
getting the most comfort, safety and benefit from the show.
Absolutely Yoga is brought to
you by the Absolute Yoga studio. Absolute Yoga features a program of Yoga and
Yoga Pilates classes
for beginner, intermediate, and advanced level students, Prenatal Yoga and Itsy Bitsy Yoga
for new and expecting families. Learn more about the studio at AbsoluteYoga.net.
