A blend of Yoga and Pilates - the best of both worlds

Yoga + is a practice designed to provide a harmonious blend of two powerful disciplines that will rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit - Yoga and Pilates. This unique fusion class caters to all fitness levels, offering modifications for beginners and challenges for those more advanced.

In this class, you'll experience the benefits of yoga, combined with the strength and core-focused exercises of Pilates. Expect a curated sequence of yoga poses to promote flexibility, balance, and inner calm, followed by Pilates exercises that target your core and contribute to overall body strength.

What are the benefits of Yoga+?

Enhanced Flexibility: Yoga postures are designed to stretch your muscles and increase your range of motion, improving overall flexibility.

Improved Strength and Tone: the Pilates portion focuses on core strength, but it doesn't stop there. Pilates exercises will help tone your whole body, sculpting your muscles without adding bulk.

Better Posture: both yoga and Pilates promote alignment and awareness of the body, leading to improved posture over time.

Stress Relief: the mindful, focused movements of both disciplines can help reduce stress, promoting a sense of peace and relaxation.

Increased Energy: this combination of exercise can boost your energy levels, making you feel more vibrant and active in your daily life.

Mind-Body Connection: both practices emphasize mindfulness and the connection between mind and body, which can improve focus, coordination, and overall mental well-being.

We use a number of props from thera bands to Pilates balls to massage balls in Yoga +.

So, whether you're looking to improve your flexibility, strengthen your core, or simply find a peaceful moment in your busy day, Yoga+ provides a comprehensive workout that nourishes both your body and mind.

Come & join us and experience the synergy of these two powerful disciplines! Fridays - 9:30am-10:30am - Woodmansterne Village Hall, Banstead
