What the classes look like
Most of the classes in this collection are slow and stretching. Nearly all focus on back, mobility, flexibility, release, calm and restore, and more than half are yin or yoga. The practice is less about effort and more about giving tight areas time to soften.
The classes run about an hour each, so they can be done in one sitting. The listed classes start in the late morning or at the end of the day, which suits people whose days are fixed by desks and meetings.
Where to practice
KONDITION in Boulder Junction is the studio with the most classes in this collection. It offers barre, spin, strength, yoga and dance, and its yin and recovery classes are designed to balance its more intense work. The studio's KonditYIN class combines yin with myofascial release, and its ReKovery class is a therapeutic session with deep stretch.
