Many doctors recommend walking or jogging as a great form of exercise not only because it is great cardio, but it also gets you outdoors for fresh air and sunshine. However, residents of Pennsylvania know all too well how harsh winters can be. So consider getting your exercise indoors at Yoga Loft Bethlehem so you can stay warm while also helping your body.

There are lots of different classes to suit the type of yoga you want to practice. If you have never tried a class, you can start with a beginner course. The Yoga Loft has weekly classes that are part of a six-week series that helps you learn the basics, no matter what your fitness level. People who have not been to a class in a long time may also take it as a refresher course.

Once you graduate from beginner, you can take Restorative classes that help you feel stronger and healthier through the use of relaxation techniques and breathing. Bolster blankets, pillows and other props are also used to stretch. There is also Yin classes that allow for longer poses to really stretch your muscles and keep your energy flowing. With continued practice, Yin can help you feel younger and more lively.

If you are pregnant, that does not mean you have to stop classes. In fact, there are special prenatal sessions that focus on your needs as a pregnant person. You do lots of flexibility stretches that help you feel stronger and ready to give birth. The same classes also teach postnatal techniques for after you have the baby.

After you give birth, you can take your child to age-appropriate classes. These are set up to help your kid with their strength building and flexibility, but also to help them get a positive self-image which can really help them later in life. They also get to make friends with kids their age, which teaches some very important social skills that help them in school and all throughout their life.

Despite its name, the Yoga Loft also has lots of other class types that they offer. One of them is Pilates. These are more intense but still generally low-impact, so they are good for people who have any kind of joint issues but still want a good workout. There is also a variation called Barre + Pilates that adds in some ballet-inspired moves to keep things fresh and fun while still giving you an excellent workout.

Tai Chi is another discipline that is offered here. This is a form of martial arts that help you get in touch with your spirit and mind as you move. It also helps with energy flow and strength and is great for people who have arthritis or balance issues. It may also help with cardiovascular issues, and many people see positive increases in length and quality of sleep with regular practice.

Some people are unsure if a certain discipline is for them, so you can ask to try a class for free for a single sessions to figure out if you like it or not. Once you do decide, you can then go for individual classes and pay as you go, or buy a pack of 10 at a discount to save some money.
