Continuum, South Florida’s premier resort-style oceanfront condominium residences in Miami Beach, welcomed the return of an internationally acclaimed talent from the world of yoga, for a special series of events at the Sporting Club and Spa.
As the dawn of Spring arrived, a four-day series of workshops for wholistic yoga enthusiasts was introduced by acclaimed instructor Eric Paskel, from April 1—4. Developed for all physical levels, Eric’s signature brand of yoga is designed for individuals to reimagine their outlook on wellness and rediscover their own relationship between mind and body through the creation of four guiding principles lead by Eric’s own themes for each session. The initial introduction of his four-day series of workshops held at the Continuum Sporting Club and Spa was so popular and sought after by homeowners at the condominium property, management requested the return of the specialist for a second year.
The most unique characteristic of Eric’s classes is the personalized approach given to each individual, whether a newer student or more experienced enthusiast, regardless of age or shape, to ensure each person feels special and observed. Every yoga class includes sun salutations, lunges, twists, side bends, back bends, forward bends, weight barring and seated postures interwoven throughout each 75-minute session.
Eric’s Whole Body Flow class focuses on the complete posture, from toes to temples, ensuring lots of movement and lots of sweat—acting as a one stop shop for the body. His Balance class is about a steady mind, as focus is given on an array of balancing postures that calibrates the senses. The Upper Body class focuses on the basic postures and movements that build upper body power and tone. Eric explores arm balances and lots more with drills that help build strength and awareness. The final session is about going with the flow, not needing to “know” and trusting yourself enough to feel safe and confident.
“We were delighted to welcome back such a renowned talent to the Continuum Sporting Club and Spa,” says Rishi Idnani, Managing Director at Continuum. “Eric’s expert contribution to the community’s overall wellness for the body and mind came at the perfect time. After his initial visit and series of classes at the Continuum in 2022 was such a hit with the community, we had to repeat the success due to the high demand from residents.”
