STRETCH AND TONE
Creating a softer environment for this full body stretch class, which is designed to awaken the body and set you up for your week ahead.
Through smooth choreography and informed direction, you will move your body using a variety of positions to find movement through your joints allowing the muscles to gently relax and improve mobility.
This session is available to all abilities, with options being provided if additional assistance is required or to deepen a stretch if progression is possible.
All equipment is provided at the studio for this session.
UNWIND AND STRETCH
This class is suitable for all abilities, where we will take you through some gentle all over stretches to increase mobility and flexibility.
Stretching at the end of the day, will relax the mind and body, reducing stress and aiding sleep.
We have structured the class to follow similar choreography to our morning class, therefore having the benefits of the full body stretch, but the evening session concludes with 15 minutes of flow to help with the destressing and winding down ready for a calm evening.
We can't wait to introduce you to this new relaxing environment and class.
SPLITS FLEXIBILITY CLASS
Whether looking to improve your flexibility to be able to do the splits, for your pole classes or just a general improvement to mobility, this class is more than just a stretch.
Building strength and improving flexibility are both required when looking to become more bendy, so we provide a great workout as well you feeling stretched at the end of a session.
Using flows, combinations, static and active stretching, as well as other methods, the classes are always varied. And from continued learning, new positions and information is used each week to provide the best stretch for your body.
All equipment is provided at the studio, and on zoom you will be advised as to what is required.
This class is a deeper stretch than the Gentle Morning Stretch.
FIT AND FABULOUS
This class is for a full body workout!
Each week it contains different exercises, executed in different layouts to create new ways to challenge the body.
Although the exercises change we always work through upper body, lower body, core work and cardio and the majority of the workouts are body weight only.
Squats, Lunges, Press Ups and Planks appear most weeks, to provide examples of what exercises can be expected. And we always find that a little competition helps boost the class so games and partner exercises are often included.
Technique is explained during the class so no experience is necessary.
