Let me guess… you’ve got stiff hamstrings, locked-up hips, and a painful lower back?
What most people would consider extreme flexibility-the splits, full lotus, wheel pose-is actually just natural range of motion. If you doubt this, spend an afternoon with any 10-year-old kid and you’ll realize that we were ALL naturally flexible – we just lost it!
Would you be interested in doing a Yoga class every week at the Zone? That’s right… at CrossFit Zone! We want to know if you are interested in trying yoga. Please let us know and we will add some classes to the schedule.
Did you know that with increased flexibility it will help you with…
- Squats
- Presses
- Olympic lifting
- Handstands
- Toes to bar / knees to elbows
- Pullups
- Ring work
I think I just named most of the CrossFit exercises!
Post to the comments if you would be interested in seeing some YOGA at the box.

What is this “hot damn yoga”?
I always mean to go to yoga, but it usually doesn’t make the cut, so count me in.
Count me in on the yoga as well! Sounds like a great addition.
Yoga = Yes. As for Diane, she’s my FAVOURITE!!! Wheee! Can’t wait. 🙂

I would also be down for “hot damn yoga” especially if it’s taught by the same girls that teach regualar “hot yoga”
Still haven’t Diane.
I would definitely be up for a yoga class at the Zone! Great idea.
Yoga for time?
AMRAP yoga?
I’d definitely be up for yoga!! And this “hot damn yoga” sounds pretty cool.
Tisha and I would go to the yoga.
