Class Descriptions

A fun and challenging High  Intensity Interval Training style workout. In a HIIT workout you  have bursts of high-intensity strength and/or cardio exercises followed by brief periods of recovery.  Come and experience a positive atmosphere with motivation and encouragement  only.  

Our bodies work best when we are able to move easily and without restriction. Life however often causes movement limitations that need to be addressed so our bodies can move better. Utilizing a combination of flowing movement, longer held stretches, and foam rolling/fascia release techniques, this class will work on both your mobility and flexibility to help you move better in your day to day life.

Unlike any yoga class you have experienced, these classes infuse strength, mobility, balance and stamina through an athletic style vinyasa flow for a whole new take on power yoga. 

Just because we aren’t kids anymore doesn’t mean we don’t want to have fun while we workout right? According to ACSM – American College of Sports Medicine; “Group exercise offers a variety of benefits you might miss out on if you choose to work out on your own. Some of the benefits include exposure to a social and fun environment, a safe and effectively designed workout, a consistent exercise schedule, an accountability factor for participating in exercise, and a workout that requires no prior exercise knowledge or experience.”

This circuit style workout will improve all components of fitness while having fun with other like-minded people. No previous experience is necessary, all you need is a good pair of indoor shoes. Options will be given for each and every participant to work at their own level. 

There are 7 basic movement patterns that we need for a  healthy body. While we hit most of these in a regular yoga class, there  is one element that is completely missing, and that is the element of  pulling. The Yoga Trapeze allows us to add pulling motion into our  repertoire to help create balanced bodies. Yoga Trapeze is a fantastic  tool to help us build our strength, increase our flexibility, and work  on our balance. Specifically, you will see an increase in grip strength,  upper body strength and core strength, all while having fun. Yoga  Trapeze also offers spinal traction. Explained simply, spinal traction  helps to create space between our vertebrae, which can help relieve  tension and pain in the back. With the trapeze we can invert safely, to  find the benefits of spinal traction. Traction alone will not cure back  pain, but traction in conjunction with the strengthening and flexibility  poses on the Trapeze will help you along your journey. 

Working primarily with resistance bands and our own body weight, we will work through a full body workout each class. We will follow that up with some mobility, flexibility and recovery work so that we stay moving in a healthy way. All exercises are easily modifiable to suit your needs so this class is suitable for all levels, whether you are a beginner or have been exercising for a long time.

How It Works: We take the "work" out of workout, by mixing low-intensity and  high-intensity moves for an interval-style, calorie-burning dance  fitness party.
