Wherever You Are, Warrior One Yoga is Ready to Welcome You!

Julie's doing this in a number of innovative ways which we are so excited to share with you, but first let us tell you a bit about Warrior One . 

There are many approaches to the practice of yoga. At Warrior One Winter Garden-Windermere, you'll be introduced to Baptiste Yoga ™. The WOWGW mission is to uplift and inspire with a vision to empower each individual to live their most extraordinary life. Warrior One practices a combination of physical yoga, meditation, and active self-inquiry. The technique is used as a tool of transformation, encouraging participants to reclaim their full potential, discover creativity, awaken passion, and create authenticity, confidence and new possibilities. 

What makes this community so unique is the ability to show up exactly as you are. No experience necessary! If you have never practiced yoga before or if meditation is foreign to you, it is perfectly ok. There are no bonus points for being able to stand on your head. Their compassionate and qualified teaching team is ready to meet you right where you are in your wellness journey, even if and especially if you are on day one. You will always be warmly welcomed. We invite you to keep reading and explore all the options for becoming part of the Warrior One community! 

Yin yoga is focused on intentional stretching and deep relaxation. Poses are held gently for longer periods of time- usually 2 to 5 minutes- to create space, build agility and maintain ease of motion. Most of the class is practiced seated or lying down and is great for beginners! It’s also an excellent choice for those looking to increase their range of motion, recover from injuries or prevent future injuries. 

The purpose of yin yoga is to target deep connective tissues, ligaments, joints and bones. This class option is slower paced and more meditative providing space and time for you to relax into your thoughts, notice physical sensations and become mindful. Focusing on your breath through discomfort is an integral part of the class. Yin yoga is a journey into self and an opportunity to be at peace with your thoughts. All levels are encouraged to attend. 

Warrior One’s signature class takes it's inspiration from the Baptiste style of power yoga. Practice is performed in a heated room of 90 degrees. Exercising in an environment above normal body temperature increases your internal temperature which promotes blood flow to skin cells. Our bodies sweat in order to achieve and maintain homeostasis.  Vigorous and challenging poses lead to a healthy sweat sesh enabling you to rid your body of excess water and salt! Each class has a focus or theme, so you have the chance to grow within your personal practice. Modifications are always offered, making this class a fun choice for many students of all skill levels. Expect to find yourself in sun salutations, backbends, balancing poses, twists and hip openers, with an important focus on breathing. 

Deep sweat as experienced in a hot yoga class can aid in the removal of environmental chemicals, pollutants and other toxins that are hindering your health. The tell-tale sign of a great class is that notable post-yoga glow students experience!  

Warrior One offers a variety of classes on ZOOM so that you are able to attend at your comfort level and convenience every day! Hot yoga, Cool Flow and Yin are all offered virtually.
