AUTUMN SESSIONS

Barre Workout Bobcaygeon

Barre - Sculpt & Stretch

Monday Mornings 9:15am - 10:15am 

Join Ally for this fun workout! By utilizing the ballet barre to perform small isometric movements set to fantastic music, Barre is a total body workout that lifts your seat, tones your thighs, abs, and arms, and burns fat in record- breaking time. In just 60 minutes you will achieve a full-body workout concentrating on the areas like hips, thighs, seat, abdominals and arms. The Ballet Barre technique is low-impact therefore protecting your joints by avoiding any bouncing or jumping. Each strength section of the workout is followed by a stretching section in order to create long, lean muscles without bulk. The technique works to defy gravity by tapering everything in and lifting it up and as a result creating a strong-dancer like body, plus he concentration involved allows you to get in the zone for the hour!

This will keep you on your toes and keep the mind present instead of just "going through the sequence". Vinyasa means "to move with the breath" which is a flowing style of class rather than holding too many static poses over longer periods of time. Whether you are looking to improve your metabolism and circulation, detoxify the different tissues of your body, or strengthen your cardiovascular system, this is the class for you!

Mindful Body Flow

Thursday Evenings 6:00pm - 7:00pm 

Join Sarah Anne for this mindful flow class where we use the breath as a tool to connect back in with our body. When we are connected with the breath, we move energy through the body, allowing us to open pathways, and the body becomes freer. Adding in movement strengthens the body, lengthens the muscles, and improves circulation, digestion, and overall well being.

Combining breath and movement is where we heal. We deepen our connection with our inner self.
