The allure of “ornamental” yoga, characterized by its emphasis on superficial aesthetics rather than mindful movement, can lure practitioners into pushing their bodies beyond safe limits. Without the guidance of a knowledgeable instructor, practitioners may lack the awareness necessary to recognize their body's warning signs of overexertion and injury.

Repeatedly performing poses incorrectly or forcing oneself into advanced postures without adequate preparation can gradually wear down joints and increase the risk of chronic issues such as tendonitis, muscle imbalances, and even stress fractures. Moreover, the lack of emphasis on breath control and mindfulness in superficial yoga can exacerbate the risk of injury by disconnecting practitioners from their body's signals.

Injuries incurred from superficial, uncontrolled yoga may not manifest immediately but can accumulate over years of practice, hindering mobility, causing chronic pain, and impeding one's overall quality of life.

Therefore, it's crucial for practitioners to prioritize proper alignment, mindfulness, and seeking guidance from qualified instructors to ensure a safe and sustainable yoga practice.

The core is the group of trunk and hip muscles that surround the spine, abdominal viscera and hip. Core muscles are essential for proper load balance within the spine, pelvis, and kinetic chain. They spare the spine from excessive load and are essential for lad transfer between the upper and lower body.

Benefits to having a strong core:
• Prevent back pain
• Increase flexibility
• Proper posture
• Improve balance
• Prevent incontinence

On the mat, your body weight provides resistance against gravity, making the workout more challenging in many cases. You must be in full control of your body, rather than relying on the assistance or support of the springs and cables of an apparatus. Mat work is a great option for any body because of its emphasis on learning how to control your muscles during exercises.

Advanced mat classes are the hardest because you’re using your body all the time, the reformer isn’t there assisting or supporting you. While doing Pilates on a mat instead of a Reformer may not seem as exciting or challenging, many clients see results (improved strength, posture, agility, flexibility, toned muscles) within just a few mat sessions.

"Wow, I just wanted to share my thoughts on the studio space—it's truly something special! The combination of industrial elements with a peaceful ambiance creates such a unique atmosphere that's both inspiring and calming at the same time.

I love how the industrial features like the exposed brick walls give the space an urban edge, yet it doesn't feel overwhelming at all. Instead, it feels surprisingly peaceful, almost like a sanctuary where creativity can flourish.

The airy feel of the studio is fantastic too, thanks to all the natural light pouring in through those big windows. It's amazing how just being in this space can instantly put you in a positive frame of mind.

Overall, the vibe here is just spot-on. It's got this perfect balance between industrial chic and tranquil elegance that makes it such a pleasure to work in. I really appreciate having the opportunity to be a part of it." - J.C.

In recent years, there has been a notable surge in the emphasis on fitness regimes geared towards longevity and overall health. This shift reflects a growing awareness of the profound impact that regular exercise can have on not just physical fitness, but also on extending one’s overall lifespan and enhancing wellbeing.
Scientific studies continue to underscore the positive correlation between consistent physical activity and a reduced risk of chronic diseases, improved cardiovascular health, and enhanced cognitive function.
Incorporating not only cardiovascular and strength training, but also elements like flexibility exercises and mindfulness practices – fitness regimes are evolving to prioritise longevity.
Mat-based Pilates and Yoga have become increasingly popular forms of exercise that focus on core strength, flexibility and overall body conditioning. Mat-based Pilates and Yoga requires minimal equipment and focuses on core strength and stability, particularly emphasising controlled movements and body awareness with the added bonus of mental clarity and calmness.
The low-impact nature of Pilates and Yoga appeals to a broad demographic, including individuals looking for effective, safe, and results-oriented workouts. Its adaptability, stress-reducing components contribute to its widespread appeal, making Pilates and Yoga a popular choice for those seeking a comprehensive and enjoyable fitness regimen that caters to various needs and fitness levels.
These classes are not just transforming workout routines but also encouraging a more thoughtful and personalized approach to a healthier, happier lifestyle.

Turn on your bodies air-con with sh*tali pranayama, the cooling breath.

Here's how you can practice it:
1. Sit comfortably: Find a quiet and comfortable place to sit. You can sit on the floor with your legs crossed or in a chair with your feet flat on the ground.
2. Relax your body: Sit with a straight spine and relax your shoulders. Place your hands on your knees, palms facing up, in a relaxed and comfortable position.
3. Open your mouth: Open your mouth and form an "O" shape with your lips.
4. Extend your tongue: Extend your tongue out and curl the sides of the tongue up. If you can't curl your tongue, you can simply part your lips slightly.
5. Inhale through the mouth: Inhale slowly and deeply through the mouth, feeling the cool air as it passes over your curled tongue.
6. Close your mouth: After a full inhalation, close your mouth and exhale through your nose.
7. Repeat: Continue this cycle for several breaths. You can start with 5-10 breaths and gradually increase as you become more comfortable.
This pranayama is has a cooling and calming effect on the nervous system and can help reduce body temperature. It's especially beneficial during hot weather or if you're feeling overheated.

Mark your calendars and keep those eyes peeled! Morning classes are set to ignite in January 2024 with a burst of energy and wellness. Don't miss the start of a revitalizing journey!

Starting your day with mindful movement energizes your body and just plain feels good!

Your body will thank you! You co workers may thank you too as it often puts you in a better mood for the rest of the day!

You’ll leave class refreshed and awakened and ready to face anything your day brings you!!
