sweat it out
Get your Punk Rock Yoga groove on at Black Swan's new South Austin studio
Punk: A music genre, fashion movement and ideology centered around individual freedom.
Rock: Music centered on electric guitars. Rock has embodied and served as the vehicle for cultural and social change.
Yoga: A calming of the whirlpools of the mind, the stripping away of layers of false identity to arrive at the realization of your true nature.
P u n k R o c k Y o g a = The most fun you can have on a yoga mat.
Sound fun? Hell yeah it does. Throw all your images of a room full of people sitting serenely, chanting "ohm" out the window and get to Leigh Fisher's Punk Rock Yoga class at Black Swan Yoga's new South Austin location.
The vinyasa master class takes yogis through a fun, free spirited, fast flowing yoga experience set to an eclectic punk, rock and glam soundtrack.
"I believe that anyone can practice yoga, and everyone should," says Fisher. "I love vinyasa flow, a practice that's light hearted and challenging, so that's how I teach. I strive to create a joyful and safe atmosphere, and lead fun, high-energy classes that strike a balance between fast paced flowing movement and strong posture alignment."
