Yogatone
Cathy combines the classic principles of yoga withlight hand weights for this course. The addition ofweights to ayoga program has fantastic benefits for those with
low bone density conditions such as osteoporosis. Weight-bearing exercises can help in growing denser and stronger bones, over time. Yoga increases flexibility and mobility of the joints. The added weights increase the resistance of the exercise to help improve muscle tone and strength. Yogatone offers the best of both exercises in one session. The outcome is great body tone, longer leaner sculpted muscles, and extra flexibility.
