Aqua Yoga or Water Yoga combines slow stretching with the use of breathing and relaxation as the water provides resistance for the muscles to work against. Offering a gentle and easily available way to enjoy movement and breathing using the supportive element of water. Many of the exercises are classical yoga postures adapted to water and are done with the student close to the pool edge to insure proper joint articulation. You feel virtually weightless in water, so that stretches and movements that might be difficult on the ground can be accomplished without strain. Aqua Yoga is the perfect combination of the benefits of yoga and swimming.
