2000’s Karaoke Themed RhythmRide, Nov. 5

by

2000’s Karaoke Themed RhythmRide

Saturday, November 5, 11:00am – MINT Dupont

Cycle Studio

We all have our favorite Y2K songs that we love belting out to in the shower, car, or whenever the moment strikes. Perhaps Beyoncé, Kelly Clarkson, Black Eyed Peas, or Avril Lavigne cross your mind? If you love the idea of being distracted by fun, classic millennial hits that will allow this cycle class to fly by – then this class is for you. Come joint Melanie on Saturday, November 5th at 11am at MINT Dupont for a ride that will get you singing, sweating, and wishing that we were still in the year 2000. This class will be filled with energy, a variety of vocal talent (optional), and lots of calories burned!

Reserve your spot here!

Yoga Alignment Workshop Series: Extended Side Angle, Utthita Parsvakonasana

by

Disclaimers: Consult a doctor before beginning an exercise regime. Never force a pose.  Stop if you feel pain or intense discomfort.  Yoga is meant to be yummy.

I love vinyasa yoga and I am obsessed with good alignment.  This obsession doesn’t stem from a need for perfection, which would be very “un-yoga-like” of me, but from a passion for protecting the body from injury.  Most bodies can safely practice yoga on a daily basis, but maintaining sound alignment is essential to your physical wellbeing.  In this series, I will break down some common poses—explaining how to stay safe and fully enjoy each posture.  Finally, remember to BREATHE consistently while practicing yoga to receive the full benefits of the practice … otherwise, you’re just stretching in Sanskrit.  Today’s pose is Extended Side Angle, or Utthita Parsvakonasana.

  • Bend towards the right leg (which should be maintained with a 90-degree bend in the knee), bring your right hand to the ground inside of your right foot. Alternatively, the hand can rest on a block, or you can rest your forearm on the thigh.

 

  • Your left hand extends from your body, sweeping over your left ear. Be careful not to over-extend to the point where the shoulder is reaching out of the shoulder socket.

 

  • With each inhale, lengthen, and then with the exhale, twist to shine your heart towards the ceiling.

 

  • You can look towards the ceiling, out in front of you, or towards the ground if it is more comfortable.

 

  • Release any unnecessary tension in your neck and face.

 

  • After you are done, try the pose on the other side to even out the body.

 

Practicing yoga on your own can be a ton of fun, but taking a class is a great way to explore new poses under the tutelage of a trained yoga instructor; check out MINT’s yoga offerings, here.

Ashley Binetti received her 200-hour vinyasa yoga teacher training at Saraswatis’s Yoga Joint in Norwalk, CT in 2011. Her favorite pose is Triangle. When she’s not doing yoga, Ashley works as a nonprofit attorney. She is also a MINT Ambassador.
