Barefoot is Best
Those that have tried the class have said, “I’ve never done anything like it before!” Or, “It’s just so different!” – and they are smiling from ear to ear. Let’s face it, life isn’t getting an easier, and it’s not slowing down. It literally feels like it’s going at warp speed. Barefoot is one-hour of YOU. And not only you, but the best YOU! With a workout that is smart, functional, sweaty, fluid, mindful, intuitive, and calming (yep, ALL of those things), you’ll be smiling too!
Why you will LOVE Barefoot@H2L:
Improved Balance and Flexibility
Executing real-life movements in your bare feet will build steadiness from your toes to the top of your head. Though it might be challenging at first, you will see improvements and differences from class to class, week to week. Also, with the stretchy-yoga flow and postures, this balance that was created will be equally greeted with long, lengthened muscles and an increase in your ROM [range of motion] = more effective workout.
Increase strength and sports performance
Your first time [and maybe every time] will be a challenge. Always be ready for a challenge, and take it. By using your own body weight, weights, towels, or even a rolled up yoga mat, you will sweat and fatigue your muscles – increasing your muscular endurance strength and in turn making your other workouts more worthwhile.
Create and Strengthen Proprioception
Proprioception is your sixth sense; the 
awareness of your body in space; your body connecting to your mind. Imagine if you had to wear mittens [think shoes] on your hands throughout the day and complete the same tasks at work, at home, everywhere. Or even had to complete your daily tasks with gloves [think socks] on? Over time you would adapt probably, but your sense of being would be diminished. Going barefoot helps you feel more, connect more, sense more.
The Feeling
That smile… the ease of your breath… endorphins + meditation… Barefoot makes you feel GOOD. And if something makes you feel good, alive, strong, balanced, connected – do it, and do it often.
