On Sunday, June 25, Philadelphia’s newest power yoga studio is hosting a free class on the Philadelphia Art Museum steps. TORC Yoga* presents its third and final pop-up from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. This class is open to the public, and all levels are welcome. All you need to do is bring a yoga mat and water bottle to experience this new and exciting practice.
TORC Yoga is co-owned and directed by Sheena Ohlig, a professional physique competitor and trainer to NFL player Haason Reddick. Sunday’s class is the last chance to experience these unique strengthening techniques before the studio’s grand opening in Old City. The 60-minute session, led by Sheena, will highlight this incredibly effective form of power yoga.
According to Sheena, the Tactical Vinyasa approach addresses several elements of fitness required for the active body. It focuses on endurance, muscle stamina, agility, mobility, flexibility, and power. “We work through the flow using breath manipulation to develop focus, movement repetition to reinforce the mind-muscle connection, and pose/counter pose progressions for balance and strength of the mind and body,” she says.
Founded in 2017, TORC Yoga supports and fosters a sense of mindfulness and peace in the surrounding community. Co-Owner and Creator Kristin Monzo ensures, “TORC Yoga is a physical practice that will appeal to yogis, athletes, runners, weight lifters, cross fitters… everyone, really.” It offers a handful of approaches to achieve and maintain optimal health. Whether you simply want to improve your well-being or are experiencing pain, you can always find a healing and friendly environment.
The TORC Executive Team tells us, “We saw the need to build our foundation here and can’t wait for Old City to become TORC’s first official home later this summer! We plan to expand in various locations across the nation.”
