Ralph has been an active yoga instructor in Brighton for two years. His preferred style is Ashtanga, which has been called power or strength yoga due to its repetitive nature and the fact that we hold our postures (asanas) for 4 or 5 breaths. Ralph could be considered a "posture specialist" because he places a lot of importance on being in the correct alignment during the practice. He has been a student of yoga for many years. An active student of Ashtanga for almost 10. We will also be doing Yin and Vinyasa.
He and his wife Shirley moved to Brighton from Plymouth in 1984. They have four children all grown. (they act grown up most of the time) He has been an active coach on the Brighton Eels Swim Team for 6 years, and enjoys teaching the kids. He is an avid mountain biker and has competed in the Xterra Triathlon events locally. A dedicated runner for 25 years he completed the Boston Marathon four times, with 24 life time marathons. He has competed in 18 triathlons, with the long course being his favorite. He is on staff at the Brighton High School as a lifeguard and has taught a masters swim program there. Ralph retired in 2000.
HOWEVER: No matter what level you are at in your Cross Fit Training there is a place for you in the yoga classes. Each asana has several modifications. Just come and enyoy!

Intense enemy fire from insurgents split Giunta's team from the rest of his squad. Giunta was knocked down when a bullet hit him in his armored chest plate. He immediately charged straight into enemy fire in order to pull a comrade back to cover..

I think the attempt to do a variety of training in one session is somewhat misdirected. What is needed is clear metabolic conditioning sessions separated from strength sessions in which the focus can be on technique development and execution without being under extreme fatigue....
CrossFit gyms allow kettlebell training, gymnastics rings, power movements, barefoot training, throwing a medicine ball around and many other training methods which are banned from your average commercial gym.....
My main problem with CrossFit is not so much with the concept itself but with its creator and leader, Greg Glassman who is uncompromising in his belief that CrossFit is the best solution for everything from endurance to muscle building....
The dawn of health clubs started a downward spiral in terms of the quality and intensity of fitness training and turned it into a world of shiny machines, plasma screens and aerobics classes which do little other that give fat ladies something to do on Tuesday mornings....
