Aqua Yoga every Thursdays

Staying active is a great way to keep ourselves healthy. And in many places around the world, yoga has been widely accepted by people from all ages as a way to relax, connect, and to strengthen. After all, you don’t need too many equipment to practice yoga. You can practice yoga at your own homes, at a yoga center, join yoga beach lessons, or perhaps in a swimming pool. Specially during winter, heated pools are favored. The St. Pete Beach Recreation Center holds Aqua Yoga with internationally recognized teacher and author Christa Fairbrother.

Benefits of Aqua Yoga

Just like the land-based yoga, aqua yoga reduces stress, practices better body awareness, and increases your flexibility. The low-impact, full-body workout helps to improve our strength and balance. Here are some of the benefits of aqua yoga:

Strengthens and tones our muscles
Enhances the immune system and improve cardiovascular function
Triggers the natural release of endorphins that helps dissolve stress
Leaves you feeling relaxed
Focusing on the body’s movements and breathing helps achieve a deep sense of relaxation and inner peace
Help relieves tight muscles and joints
Decompresses your spine

Aqua yoga is a great way for us to move our bodies while reducing joint impact. Moreover, water yoga is a good option for beginners looking to improve fitness, for older adults, people with mobility issues, overweight, arthritis, and pregnant women.
