Cardio

About This Class

This dynamic yoga cardio class with Travis Eliot delivers a full-body cardiovascular workout structured as a progressive flow. Starting with Child's Pose and Cat-Cow to warm up the spine, the class launches into Sun Salutation-based sequences that build round by round, layering in Chair Pose pulses, Crescent Pose variations, and Chaturanga push-through transitions to elevate the heart rate. Warriors One and Two, Reverse Warrior, and Extended Side Angle add strength and standing endurance, with flowing transitions between poses keeping momentum high. The instructor emphasizes breath-led movement, good form (elbows in, strong core), and mindful athleticism throughout. The class concludes with a well-earned cooldown: Gomukhasana (Cow Face Pose) for outer hip and IT band release, a seated forward bend, Plow Pose, Shoulder Stand for heart-rate regulation, a supine wrap-leg twist, and a long Savasana. The overall experience balances high physical output with yogic awareness, making it ideal for those seeking cardiovascular conditioning within a traditional yoga framework.
