It’s that time of year again Pittsburgh!  Shake out that box of shorts and t-shirts, bathing suits and sandals and expose your pale flesh to that yellow orb in the sky that many people know as THE SUN. 

In honor of the more revealing attire of this fast approaching season, Erin Commendatore will be offering a “Bikini Season Yoga” class on Wednesday nights at 5:45pm.  Yes, we’re being a bit cheeky at Yoga Matrika!  You don’t need to be a woman or even consider wearing a bikini to take this energetic and core strengthening class.  Erin will focus on using yoga poses and movements that shape the arms and legs, help you lose weight and tone the belly.  Yoga tones and creates long and lean muscles so you look great in and out of whatever you decide to wear this summer.

This is also a great class for new moms (3+ months post-partum) who would like to use yoga to shape up and feel more energetic and fabulous after birth and any new dads who might have added a bit of pregnancy weight themselves.  We are also starting to offer two pilates classes every week—-Mondays at 6:00pm at the Annex and Thursdays at 7:30pm in the Main space.  These and our regular Yoga for Athletes and creative movement classes all combine to provide more cardio benefits and strengthening and toning options for yogis.
