Livity certainly practices what it preaches; the studio has been undergoing a transformation of sorts, fully embracing the revolutionary
Bowspring postural modality within its practice. Indeed, Livity is the
only locally-based studio that has instructors who are trained in this
revolutionary technique, that creates a lightness of body with supple
strength, reducing muscle and joint pain.
The ladies at Livity are enthusiastic to say the least. Founder and
yoga instructor, Christy Punnett, who sits on the board of the
international body for this revolutionary technique says, “this is great
for rehabilitation, wellness and vitality. At Livity, we focus on mindfulness, accountability and postural movement. We are passionate
about the creation of healthy communities.” Indeed, Livity is not just a
yoga studio, it is a lifestyle practice.
Classes at the Livity Yoga studio accommodate all ability-levels. The
class schedule even includes sessions targeted at toddlers, children,
teens and those in need of a more therapeutic approach. Specialized
workshops are offered for those who are interested in more advanced
training. In keeping with its lifestyle approach, Livity also offers events to encourage the community to embrace its message of health and vitality.
Livity is open from Monday to Saturday. For an up-to-date schedule of classes, visit www.livityyoga.com. You can find them on Facebook at Livity
