Best Pilates Classes near Silver Spring, MD

Yoga Walls (also called rope walls) are beneficial for all levels of practitioners, from beginners to advanced, and can also provide amazing support for people who are working with injuries or people who aren't able to take group yoga classes. First, the wall helps you lengthen your spine and decompress your joints. Second, it allows you to increase strength by working with gravity and your body weight in new ways. For the more intermediate/advanced practitioner, a yoga wall can really help you with your alignment, asana strength and muscle activation as well as inversions. By allowing you to be inverted with full support, the wall will help you get more comfortable going and being upside down which can help practitioners move more confidently into unsupported inversions. The Yoga Wall allows one to feel a yoga pose without the weight of their body, thus feeling what the asana should feel like. It also allows students to hold yoga poses longer with better alignment, and therefore to get more benefit out of their practice. Amanda Shipe (trained by Bryan Legere, founder of the Yoga Wall) leads this Yoga Wall Workshop to teach you how to properly and safely use the Yoga Wall open your spine all its directions. You will leave feeling amazing! This spine focused class is one of the main reasons to do Yoga Wall because of the traction and weightless twists and stretches that can only be achieved on a Yoga wall. If you have an injury, please clear it with your doctor to attend.
