Yogalates is a combination of yoga and pilates, where you get the best of both worlds. Through simple exercises you will develop your strength, flexibility and stability which will contribute to a good posture and increase your body awareness.
With pop classics of the past and hits of the present at the background, you will do yoga and pilates exercises for your whole body that focus on effort and relaxation. A lot of attention is paid to strengthening your abdominal and back muscles and loosening your back. However, your arm and leg muscles are not forgotten. This class is very suitable for beginners, but is also popular with people who have experience with yoga. After this lesson you will feel rested and stronger.

Practical Information
Wear comfortable sports clothing that allows for movement and don't forget to bring a bottle of water and a towel. Yogalates is practised in bare feet (but you can wear socks if you prefer to) so you do not need to bring gym shoes to the lessons. Bring an extra sweater or cardigan so you don't cool off during the last part of the lesson.
