Empower

Welcome to our mindful yoga warm-up for the Empower series. This practice affords us the occasion to connect with our body in a loving and mindful way. This full-body class stretches, strengthens, lengthens and tones the whole body, so it can absolutely be performed as a standalone class if you are looking for something more gentle; otherwise if you are wanting to spice things up you can pair this class with any of our other offerings throughout this series.

Welcome to our Yogalates Empower class for core and arm strength. Today we will be exploring postures centred around plank pose to help us strengthen our awareness of the body as we move through space.

Get ready to cultivate courage and confidence! MUSIC 'Deep into Nature' - composed by Music of Wisdom Licensed from meditationmusiclibrary.com

Welcome to volume I of our yogalates glutes practice for the Empower Series. Today we will be strengthening the gluteus maximus, in addition to the hamstrings, as we explore dynamic movements centred around a table-top position. These slow and intentional sequences will help us build a strong muscular foundation in both the body and the mind. If you have sensitive wrists know that you could always perform these postures on your forearms. MUSIC 'Our Peaceful Ocean' - composed by Music of Wisdom Licensed from meditationmusiclibrary.com

Welcome to volume III of our yogalates glute strengthening series for the Empower program. In this class we will perform slow and controlled movements, which may propose an illusion of 'taking it easy' as we rest on our sides for the majority of class, but don't be fooled as we will turn up the heat in and around the stabilizing muscles of the outer glutes and hips.

Welcome to volume II of our yogalates glutes series. Yes, you read correctly, we've dedicated three full-length classes to this powerful region of the body. If you are wondering why, it's because this powerhouse supports us throughout every movement we make. Whether it's supporting our stride as we walk, helping us ascend an elevated terrain, or providing us with cushioning when we sit or lie down, this muscle group deserves its moment in the spotlight. This class gives these babies an opportunity to shine (depending on how sweaty you get) and to demonstrate their immense capabilities. In this class we'll predominately be focused on movements inspired by a traditional bridge pose; so in addition to toning the glutes, we'll also be targeting the muscles of the back and the hamstrings, as well as strengthening the knees and the ankles.
