More about Alignment Yoga Sculpt (AYS)
Alignment Yoga sculpt classes combine Vinyasa Yoga and Strength Training with a BIG emphasis on slow, controlled, mindful movement. AYS is a wonderful compliment to any Vinyasa practice. Strengthen and lengthen muscles in a mindful way to obtain a lean sculpted physique. Alignment and safe movement with and without hand weights rule in AYS classes.
Combination movements (for example: Crescent Lunge (Anjaneyasana) Lunges with bicep curls or squats with tricep kickbacks) with 2 to 5 pound hand weights can provide a very effective strength training workout hitting all major muscle groups in a highly efficient one hour class.
Functional movement and full range of movement.
AYS is much different than most Yoga Sculpt formats and your heart rate will increase without “cardio bursts” or swinging the weights in a fast, uncontrolled and unsafe manner. Give AYS a try and see the difference yourself.
In addition, AYS classes concentrate on negative muscle movement or eccentric contractions (example: slowly lowering back down from a bicep curl or slowly lowering back down when doing a pushup). It has been proven that you can improve strength during the eccentric phase of contraction just as well as the concentric (muscle shortening) phase.
