What is Fitness Yoga?

Fitness Yoga is a combination of fitness exercises and asanas, it is a class focused on the physical body.

During a Fitness yoga class, we work on the whole body, helping you to strengthen and stretch your muscles using your bodyweight and for more challenge, using props such as elastic bands or weights.

You don't need to have a particular level of fitness or yoga to practice Fitness Yoga, the fitness exercises/asanas will be adaptable for everyone.

"Fitness Yoga is great if your goal is toning, strength and conditioning, building muscle or for general fitness." explains our Fitness Yoga Teacher Vanessa Langlois.

What to expect from a fitness yoga class
