Fitness Yoga is an effective and exciting 'mind' and 'body' workout. It is a safe practice that will make you sweat and work hard, connecting breath with movement. It combines aerobic and anaerobic movements, as well as elements from Hatha Yoga and traditional exercise, linked together in a flowing series of poses that create strength, flexibility, endurance and balance. It's about exploring your limits physically and mentally, working all parts of your body equally to create balance that will compliment other activities of daily life.
