I recently started a 10 week session of Yogilates. It can also be known as core fusion, yoga fusion or fusion yoga pilates. I love it! Yogilates is a combination of yoga and pilates – a class that incorporates stretches, poses, balancing, breathing, strengthening and toning exercises. Pilates focuses on isolating small muscle groups with intense exercises that target those areas. In combination with the flexibility and strengthening exercises and poses in yoga, Yogilates offers a challenging and dynamic cardiovascular workout. It also provides relaxation benefits through various breathing exercises.
During these classes, I find that if you truly concentrate and focus on breathing and using your core, you feel the benefits of the exercises. It becomes a full-body workout that results in a leaner, stronger and more balanced you!
Check out your area to see when classes are offered and sign up today! You can also purchase DVDs which offers different levels of Yogilates that you can do right in your home. Begin to see and feel the benefits of Yogilates today!
True enjoyment comes from activity of the mind and exercise of the body; the two are united (Alexander von Humboldt)
