Class Styles

Yogalates - Signature class and award winning fusion

Yogalates is a unique blend of Yoga and Pilates, yet not simply these two combined to make one class.  The creator of the Solomon YogalatesTM Method, Louise Solomon, developed this method in the 90's.  What makes this method so unique is that unlike many practices of Yoga where the breath is taught as inhale and exhale, Yogalates takes you deeper into teaching how to functionally work with the breath, for many this means re-training poor breathing patterns.  The functional breath in Yogalates becomes the 'core', supporting the body structurally, the nervous system and an awareness at the centre of 'being'.  Yogalates also works closely with alignment of the body in postures, also working from a neutral spine base, which with repetitive practice helps correct postural imbalances that may be inhibiting functional movement, breathing, causing pain, injury and other conditions in the body.  Yogalates is a mindful practice that refines the body and the breath by taking you deeper into awareness, liberating the mind.

It caters for all different body types, ages and abilities & supports postural alignment and your overall well being. All postures are taught with the awareness of stability in the joints and progressing from a preparation stage increasing the load and effort so that everyone has an option to suit their body and fitness level. Relax and de-stress by practising the renowned restorative Yoga techniques to increase your well being. Postures are modified to suit your body. 

The Yogalates method is on the referral base from Health practitioners ie. GPs Physiotherapists, Osteopaths etc.

Vinyasa Slow Flow 

Where slow is the new strength. This class is Vinyasa Krama (meaning 'special placing steps') fused with the Yogalates principles. This is a flow into and out of a posture (as neural and muscular skeletal preparation) before a hold and stay.

Focus is on identifying and building a strong core foundation for your Yoga practice. Learn how to recruit and build core strength in static holds, slow flow movements, foundation standing and balancing postures. Explore the traditional Yoga “Salute to the Sun” sequencing. You will develop inner resilience and build outer strength, extend your flexibility & improve alignment. If you have an acute injury you may need to discuss prior to attending and you may want to consider trying the Yogalates General Classes as a stepping stone to this class. Not suitable for prenatal clients.

​

Pilates Align

An engaging mat-based class of Pilates with a remedial therapeutic focus. Support your work/life requirements with this balanced challenging program designed to build core strength, improve spinal health & posture, ease of movement and range of motion. Prepare to breathe deeply and explore your body, de-stress and refresh yourself!. 

​

Barre Yogalates Fusion 

The fusion of Ballet positions, Pilates & Yoga to tone and lengthen major muscle groups, raise your heartbeat through low impact movement and strengthen your whole body.

Workouts focus on isometric movements that isolate a muscle group which are held  & pulsed for an extended period of time, therefore exhausts the muscles causing you to shake and feel a burn. Those are signs the movements are working.

Smaller muscle fibers often neglected in dynamic exercises are recruited with the isometric movements of the muscle group. Strengthening these fibers gives them better range of motion, making them more flexible and less prone to injury. You will feel energised after each session. 

Modifications are given however we do not recommend this class for those with serious injury or conditions, please email the office so we can place you in a more suitable class if you have any concerns.

​

Barre Sport is a mixture of barre, vinyasa & core sliders. A great energising week to end the week and lead you into the weekend.

​

Yogalates Core Slider

Practising the signature Yogalates principles & format, this class will centre you with breath, limber & release fascia + joints & stretch muscles with a Yoga flow while focusing on core strength using the core sliders.

Basic core foundations will be covered in the class in prep for the core slider work. This is a low impact cardio class targeted on the front & back core muscles, upper body and butt that will get your heart pumping, muscles burning & sweat dripping but then enjoyed by a deep releasing stretch phase. Please bring a towel & water. 

​

Yin Yoga

A restorative floor-based class which uses poses to nourish and stimulate the connective tissues of the body. A Yin practice is likened to as 'undoing' or 'releasing', the focus is on breath to help surrender and release tightness & tension in the body.

Its aim is to increase circulation in the joints, improving flexibility, strength and providing support for the immune system.

A more meditative approach to yoga, Yin aims at cultivating awareness of inner silence. Elodie's classes offer an opportunity to develop a contemplative practice. Becoming still in a pose and staying for a while, creates space in the mind for it slow down, time for the body to relax and for you to just be.

Yin Yoga can be seen as a style of yoga that might compliment a more dynamic practice or lifestyle, and assist in bringing balance to the body and mind.
