Are you looking for a movement class that’s fun, challenging, and makes you feel rejuvenated?
Ready to try something new and exciting?
Join us for our weekly steel mace yoga class. It’s a supportive, judgment-free zone where we’re all discovering our strength and vitality. Your body (and mind) will thank you!
Yoga instructor Shuva Rahim has started introducing clients to the world of steel mace yoga in her Yoga For Every Body small group session (5:30 p.m. Wednesdays).
Why should you give steel mace yoga a try?
Here are three compelling reasons:
- Boost Your Functional Strength
The steel mace adds gentle resistance to traditional yoga poses, helping you build strength in a way that translates directly to everyday activities. Whether it’s lifting groceries, playing with grandkids, or tending to your garden, you’ll notice the difference in your capability and confidence. - Enhance Your Balance and Flexibility
As we get older, maintaining balance and flexibility becomes crucial. Steel mace yoga challenges your stability in new ways, improving your overall balance and keeping you nimble. You’ll be amazed at how this practice can help you move more freely and gracefully. - Sharpen Your Mind-Body Connection
The unique movements of steel mace yoga require focus and coordination, providing a wonderful opportunity to strengthen the connection between your mind and body. This mindful practice can help reduce stress, improve mood, and keep your brain sharp.

Don’t let the idea of using a “mace” intimidate you – you’ll get an orientation on how to handle this tool and can always opt to start with a light rod (1 pound) as we focus on proper form. The maces we use are 5 to 7 pounds.
You’ll be surprised at how quickly you adapt and grow stronger.
