If your fitness routine feels a little stale, trying a new kind of class can make it feel fresh again. Taking a Yoga class might be an excellent way to expand your fitness horizons and it might just become your new favourite workout. Our Yoga classes combine breathing and stretching with basic fitness principles through activity and relaxation that will help you improve your day to day activities and improve your mental wellbeing by releasing stresses from your body and mind.

Yin Yoga

Yin yoga balances the nervous system as you rest in longer-held postures. It allows space to quiet the mind and heal. When you stimulate the connective tissue, it can help with flexibility, circulation, and muscle recovery. Yin yoga targets your deep connective tissues, like your fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones. It's slower and more meditative, giving you space to turn inward and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of your body. Because you're holding poses for a more extended period than you would in other traditional types of yoga, yin yoga helps you stretch and lengthen those rarely-used tissues while also teaching you how to breathe through discomfort and sit with your thoughts.

Pilates

If your fitness routine feels a little stale, trying a new kind of class can make it feel fresh again. Taking a Pilates class might be an excellent way to expand your fitness horizons and it might just become your new favourite workout.
