YMCA invites you for a Sunrise Yoga session
The Sheridan County YMCA has expanded its morning class offerings to include a variety of yoga formats, such as Sunrise Flow, Hatha, and Gentle Yoga. These classes are designed to help residents kickstart their day and reap the numerous benefits associated with yoga.
One of the key offerings is Sunrise Flow Yoga, a calming and stretching class that offers a gentle reset for both the morning and recovery from evening shifts. This class, in particular, is supported by Johns Hopkins Medicine research, which indicates that gentle yoga practices like Sunrise Flow can contribute to improved emotional wellbeing, stress reduction, and enhanced mindfulness. They can also help regulate cortisol levels and improve emotional balance when combined with light exposure and movement in the morning [1][3].
While the exact frequency of Sunrise Flow Yoga at the Sheridan County YMCA is not specified in the available information, the Y offers yoga classes at multiple times throughout the week.
Residents of the YMCA make use of various morning classes, including weights, treadmills, pool laps, calisthenics, and now, yoga. The Executive Director of the Sheridan County YMCA, Liz Cassiday, is among those who regularly participate in early morning classes.
Johns Hopkins Medicine research further suggests that yoga can relieve back pain, ease arthritis symptoms, improve heart health, reduce stress, and enhance sleep. Additionally, participating in yoga classes can improve strength, balance, and flexibility [2]. However, the specific benefits of the additional yoga formats offered by the YMCA, beyond those associated with Sunrise Flow, are not detailed in the provided information.
For precise scheduling details for Sunrise Flow Yoga at Sheridan County YMCA, or for information about the other yoga formats on offer, it's recommended to contact the YMCA directly or check their official website.
