About the workshop:
This workshop is designed to combine your yoga practice with introductory strength training movements to give you a well-rounded approach to fitness. One of Colin's goals is to break down barriers to the weight room and allow newcomers to ask questions to an expert in the field in a safe and welcoming environment.
We will be covering all levels of weight lifting to give participants options to pursue after the class is finished. We hope to create a class that allows people to branch out into different areas of fitness and to apply those concepts to their yoga practice.
Colin aims to introduce people to lifting weights in a space where participants feel comfortable asking questions and expressing hesitations that have stopped them from lifting weights in the past. We hope that you are ready to learn about the world of lifting weights and all the potential benefits that it can add to not only your yoga practice but also to your daily life.
