Using the best of both Pilates and Yoga – centering, fluidity, control, intuition and imagination, The Fitness Blend helps participants gain a deeper understanding and view of their own bodies as an integrated whole, rather than connected parts. With a workout that focuses on the mind and body in harmony, The Fitness Blend allows participants to increase joint and muscle strength and mobility and develop more flexible, stronger and leaner bodies.

Imagine your body as an engine of a car, comprised of many pieces. That engine can’t perform unless a driver starts it. It also will not work optimally if it is not regularly maintained. It takes just one part not working well to disable the entire engine. The Fitness Blend is the driver, coordinating all parts to run like a fine tuned engine.

Learning to work the body from the inside out, students will also discover the different methods of breathing used by each discipline. Concentration and precision of movement are keys elements in The Fitness Blend.

Designed for people of all ages and all fitness levels, The Fitness Blend offers numerous modification possibilities and encourages individual progression in the program. Using the unique terms Pilates and Yoga describe their movements and body parts, students of The Fitness Blend will learn new language. Participants will learn muscle control without tension, stabilization, lengthening while engaging, integrated isolation and moving to their own edge.

Often the body becomes free from the most common aches and pains through body awareness. Physicians often recommend Pilates and Yoga to help relieve minor back pain, making The Blend a perfect choice. Perhaps the most important benefits derived from The Fitness Blend are the techniques students learn to help relieve everyday stress and better function daily.

The Fitness Blend can be presented in many formats – group exercise classes, partner training and personal fitness training sessions. Lunchtime or after work lecture where participants may practice breathing, stretching and stress relief techniques without changing into workout clothes also work well.
