Yogalates

About this event

Yogalates is sometimes thought of as a fusion practice of “East meets West,” because it merges the ancient Indian practice of yoga with the Western practice of Pilates, which was developed by Joseph Pilates in 1920s Germany. Yogalates classes cultivate a powerful mind-body connection through breath work, core stabilization, body-weight strengthening, and postures to improve flexibility and balance. This is an exercise method that is adaptable for a wide variety of fitness levels. Research has shown that group fitness classes are more effective at improving mental, physical and emotional health when compared to working out alone. In a study published by The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association, they found that working out in a group lowers stress by 26 percent and significantly improves quality of life, while those who exercise individually put in more effort but experienced no significant changes in their stress level and a limited improvement to quality of life.
