The practice of restorative or ‘restful’ yoga takes its inspiration from the practice of savasana. In a restorative practice, most if not all, of the postures are done restfully, in a manner that gently opens the body. Using a variety of yoga props (bolsters, blankets, yoga blocks) students are assisted in setting up their props to create a unique foundation for rest in a particular pose. During this workshop, we will explore a variety of postures(we can modify all poses to suit the needs of each student respectively).  A restorative practice can be enjoyed just one posture at a time or practiced in short series of poses over the course of an extended period of time for a profoundly deep experience of rest and relaxation. Participants will discover favorite poses and learn how to use them in a home practice. Restorative yoga can be enjoyed by everyone at all levels of experience with yoga including beginners.  Please don’t hesitate to contact us with your questions. We hope that you will take some time to rest with us November 19th.

Kick Ass Cardio is the original program designed by EquiVIta’s own Transitional Fitness Trainer Christopher Yeoman a military veteran with over 28 years of martial arts experience, incorporating moves from Muy Thai , Tae Kwondo, and the ever popular realm of mixed martial arts

Kick Ass Cardio gives you a pulse pounding, fat burning , stress relieving workout that is totally tailored to your level.
Kick Ass Cardio is instinctive and easy to master,
 and then you adjusts the same techniques on an individual level to increase the
 intensity and just how hard you bring it.

Traditional Cardio-Kickboxing classes provide no kinetic feedback to the body allowing for sloppy technique and no real sense of the bodies full potential of motion. In Kick Ass Cardio that feed back is imperative to the full experience and helps develop muscle strength , better balance, develops bone density, as well as increasing stamina.

Testimonials from our KAC clients

“I came to Equivita looking for a kickboxing class to try. I found a place that cared more about my health and wellbeing more than filling a class. I was surprised by the diversity of the classes offered and the kindness of the staff. They cared about my goals and helping me safely obtain them. The variety and varying difficulty of classes made it easy to obtain my goals. The massage therapists helped keep my body in tip top shape while I was taking all my favorite classes.” ~ Ashley Davis : Satisfied client at EquiVita

“I started in February and attend at least 2
nights per week. I continue to go for a couple of reasons. 1) The
workouts are never the same, and Chris is always increasing the intensity
level. 2) It has improved my stamina and my strength. I am an avid runner
and I run approx 20-25 miles per week. While my cardio levels are good, I
needed to increase my strength training and improve muscle tone. This
class is helping me do exactly that!
When I started this class, it was amazing to me how tired I was 15 minutes into the class.
I’ve taken other cardio kickboxing classes in town, and the intensity level
Chris brings is a bit higher which I really like. I also like that Chris
makes sure that proper techniques are used in the class, and he goes out of
his way to teach those techniques so that students maximize their
performance and minimize injuries.” ~ Matt Usher Satisfied client at EquiVIta

This class is about personal power. Accept the challenge and prepare to amaze
yourself.

Instructor:

Christopher Yeoman, Boxing Instructor
Christopher started training in the martial arts at the age of eight. He attained his black belt of Tae Kwon Do in the style of Ji Do Kwan when he was twelve and then achieved his 3rd Dan belt when he was around twenty. Christopher entered the United States Navy shortly after high school and spent over 8 years traveling and living abroad in countries such as Japan, Korea, and Thailand.
In those travels he had the opportunity to study numerous martial arts in the specific countries of origin. While abroad he immersed himself in arts such as Eskrima from the Phillipines and Bojutsu from Okinawa. He was privileged to experience the cultural differences and history from numerous teachers, providing him with a unique experience and perspective in his own teachings of physical, mental conditioning, and self defense. Christopher has taught at the college level classes in human behavior, situational response, and the bodies response to stress during times of crisis. Christopher looks forward to bringing his experiences to Kick Ass Cardio and sharing them with you.
