You're already in the zen of yoga; supplement with great aerobic exercise in the calming medium of the water.

Regular benefits of yoga include an increased sense of calm, flexibility, greater muscular strength and better posture. Swimming complements these with cardiovascular and pulmonary improvements, and also enhances the meditative calm of yoga by taking place in water. Swimming isn’t just beneficial for the body, but also calming and restorative for the mind. The water not only takes a lot of stress off the joints, but also blocks external sounds and distractions while soothing and caressing the body.

These workouts will run from 6 to 7 p.m. Mon/Wed/Fri, April 10-21, at the Culver City Municipal Plunge, 4117 Overland Ave.

Please enjoy the first workout free on us! Please fill out a free workout form on http://www.swim.net or call (310) 390-5700.
