Radiant Well-Being Yoga

What is Radiant Well-Being Yoga? Radiant Well-Being Yoga is a user-friendly method of stretching and strengthening that rehabilitates and increases mobility in the joints. It is based in traditional yoga but is very different from “regular” yoga because rather than focusing on stretching muscles, it focuses on getting the joints moving in their full range of motion. Very consciously developed class plans take students from one pose to another, with each pose preparing the body for what is coming next. Anyone can do RWB Yoga because poses are done only as each body is able. When a pose is difficult for a student, it is modified so the student can benefit from the variation while remaining safe. Forcing the body and ideas like “no pain, no gain” have absolutely no place in RWB Yoga. There is also no such thing as a “perfect pose”. Each student’s restrictions are respected, and time in each pose gives the nervous system time to feel safe, relax into the pose, release restrictions, and create new patterns. RWB Yoga is excellent for inflexible, hyper flexible and aging bodies; it is especially user-friendly for men who think they can’t do yoga, and it has proven surprisingly enjoyable for people who say they “don’t like yoga”.
