4. Workshop - Muscle Engagement
Date: Aug 11 (Sun)
Time: 2:30pm-4:30pm
Admission: $500 (Contact 91288177 to reserve your spot!)
Local yogi Rose is hosting a workshop that aims to provide a hands-on approach to learning how to engage your muscles.
Find out how the concepts of muscle mass and muscle strength are separated from muscular power, a concept that implies explosiveness, and muscular endurance, which is the ability of the muscle to work at a steady performance rate over time.
Perhaps something athletes from all disciplines can take something away from!
