Some postures are restorative, which use props such as blankets, blocks, bolsters, and straps.

POWER CYCLE
Power CYCLE is an intense indoor cycling class focused on measuring your power in real-time. A power meter measures the work a cyclist does on a bike, and it is the most accurate way to measure effort. Unlike heart rate monitoring, power output measurement tells the cyclist how much work is being done in the moment, exactly what benefit that work is getting, and can show fitness gained over time and changes in fatigue level. Simply put, if you want to know how you’re doing, track your power output. Or better yet, track how your power output and heart rate response are related over time. Like heart rate, you have power zones for different intensities. This class will use those zones and intervals by tracking watts. You will also learn to watch the corresponding heart-rate and watts and how they work together to give you information about your effort. This is a level 2 cycling class and prior cycling experience is recommended.
