If you want a little extra burn, you will love Pilates with Light Weights.

The light weights will tone your body and make your core work a little bit more.

Adding light weights to mat Pilates workouts offers enhanced strength gains, increased muscle engagement, and a more intense challenge for core and overall body strength, making it a great way to build a stronger, more toned physique. Pilates with weights can also improve balance, posture, and overall body awareness.

:Increased Strength and Muscle Engagement:

• Muscle Growth: Using weights adds resistance, encouraging muscle growth and increasing overall strength.
• Core Strength: Weighted Pilates exercises can further challenge and strengthen the core muscles, promoting better stability and support.
• Functional Strength: Adding weights to Pilates movements can help develop functional strength, making it easier to perform daily activities.

Improved Balance, Posture, and Body Awareness:

• Balanced Muscle Development: Pilates, especially with weights, encourages balanced muscle development, improving posture and reducing the risk of imbalances.
• Body Awareness: The controlled movements and use of weights in Pilates enhance body awareness and mindful movement.
• Improved Balance: Pilates exercises, particularly those with weights, can help improve balance and coordination.

Other Benefits:

• Increased Endurance: Pilates and weight training can both help build muscular endurance, allowing you to perform repetitive tasks for longer periods.
• Weight Management: Adding weights to Pilates can boost your metabolism and help with weight loss.
• Stress Reduction: Pilates, including the use of weights, can help reduce stress levels.

Restorative Yoga gently restores balance and calm. Finding Peaceful and Calm Yin Energy.

Using props to create comfort, ease and space in the body, we hold calming poses for 3 to 5 minutes, while I take you through guided meditations and end with savasana.

Restorative Yoga offers numerous physical and mental health benefits, including stress reduction, improved sleep, pain relief, and enhanced flexibility. It also promotes a sense of calm and well-being by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. :

Physical Benefits:

• Reduces stress and anxiety: Restorative yoga calms the nervous system, lowers cortisol levels, and helps individuals release tension and stress, making it beneficial for those struggling with anxiety, insomnia, or chronic pain.
• Improves sleep quality: By promoting relaxation and deep breathing, restorative yoga can help improve sleep quality, especially for those who struggle with insomnia or anxiety.
• Enhances flexibility and range of motion: Holding supported poses for extended periods can gently increase flexibility, making the muscles and joints more supple.
• Relieves chronic pain: Restorative yoga can help alleviate pain associated with headaches, back pain, and osteoarthritis by reducing muscle tension and promoting healing.
• Improves posture and prevents injuries: By increasing flexibility and range of motion, restorative yoga can improve posture and reduce the risk of injuries.

Mental and Emotional Benefits:

• Promotes relaxation and reduces stress: The focus on deep breathing and stillness in restorative yoga can help reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and calm the mind, leading to a sense of peace and balance.
• Improves focus and mindfulness: The practice of holding poses and focusing on the breath can enhance mental clarity and focus, promoting mindfulness and self-awareness.
• Reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety: Restorative yoga can help reduce depressive symptoms by promoting relaxation and deep breathing.
• Encourages emotional balance: The stillness and space provided by restorative yoga allow for emotional processing, leading to a more balanced emotional state.
• Improves mind-body connection: The practice encourages a deeper connection between the mind and body, fostering a greater sense of awareness and presence.

Starting with a Slow Flow practice where you will blend breath with movement, get a great stretch and ease your mind before an extended 45 minute guided meditation known as Yoga Nidra.

Slow Flow Yoga is an intentional, slower-paced practice focusing on mindful movement, longer holds in poses, and deep breathing to prepare the body and mind for deep relaxation. 

Yoga Nidra Nurtures the Mind and Body.

Yoga Nidra is deep rest and relaxation, it takes you beyond the relaxed state of mind - going to that blissful state.

Yoga Nidra is the state between awake and asleep. The practitioner gets the full benefit of deep sleep, while remaining fully conscious with a deep level of awareness.

Yoga Nidra will slow down the brain waves and impact the body on both a physical and subtle level.

Yoga Nidra can help with Insomnia, activation of the Parasympathetic nervous system (rest & digest), regulate the hormones, help us to handle stress, anxiety and benefits everyone.
