Easy Flow Yoga
A very calm yoga style, also called Hatha yoga. Characteristic is the soft and freer approach to the postures. Classes are more relaxing due to alternation of dynamic-static postures. This limits the load, which is nice for beginners. The focus is on continuous movement and soft 'flow'.
Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is the counterpart of Power Yoga: instead of contracting muscles, you learn to relax muscles, so that you reach the deeper connective tissue. Because you remain in a position for a long time (2 - 5 minutes), the connective tissue is stretched. You also become more aware of thoughts, feelings, sensations and you work towards acceptance. Yin Yoga has a meditative and calming effect.
Body Balance
At LesMills BodyBalance you can enjoy movements from yoga, tai chi and pilates. It is your personal time out from everyday life and ensures a healthy mind and body. You do simple and safe yoga movements to make your body stronger and more flexible. Controlling breathing is part of all movements and the instructor provides options for novice participants.
Yogalates
Takes the best of both East and West by combining the art of Yoga from the East with the figure-enhancing Pilates exercises from the West. The strength lies in the simplicity and the combinations of the movements. The lesson mainly consists of floor exercises for stomach, buttocks, legs, back and arms. You improve your posture by developing more control over your muscles.
