Yaqua is the art of yoga practiced in the water. This program has been developed and passed on by the combined expertise of a yoga professional and an aquatics professional. I have studied this new method of aquatic exercise and am bringing it those who want to experience it.

    Yaqua is focused on rebalancing your body, facilitating stress release, and increasing energy integration in the supportive and nurturing environment of the water. This program will promote maximum range of motion in your joints, increase the elasticity of your connective tissue and muscle fibers, all while utilizing the non-weight bearing and stabilizing environmental qualities of water.

    My program will follow the guidelines of Yaqua in the following order:

Centering Poses - to promote full range of motion
Warming Poses - to promote spinal balance
Aqua Salutation - a proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation sequence of movements for all major muscle groups
Sets of Postures - to balance the muscles of the spinal column
And Relaxation - stress release, breathing techniques and centering
