Flexibility is an important part of our lives
and will help with bending, reaching, and posture,
with less chance of hurting yourself if you slip or
fall.
Stretching again helps with posture, takes
away the lactic acid build up after a workout, which
in turn reduces post muscular pain. It gives people
time to relax and lengthen the muscle fibres to
prevent the build up of scarring and tightness
around certain particular areas.
It is important to exercise all aspects of the body
to improve health, increase fitness levels, lower
cholesterol, decrease stress levels, to increase
stamina and to help you to sleep.

Freestyle Fitness Yoga
Freestyle Fitness Yoga is a freestyle class that
targets flexibility, core stability and strength.
What is Freestyle Fitness
Yoga?
FFY is a fitness program that incorporates deep
stretch, Yoga postures and Pilates exercises. Every
element of this class is validated from a fitness
perspective. Any one taking part in a class can
expect to improve their flexibility greatly in 8
weeks. They will learn how to identify the bodies
stabilizing muscles and use them effectively and
efficiently to improve their posture and move with
more confidence.
How does Freestyle fitness
Yoga differ from traditional Yoga?
It is not a spiritual experience it mimics Yoga in
its breathing and style offering postures that
endorse strength and stability. There is no dogma,
chanting or philosophy attached to this workout.
There is no Sanskrit terms as postures are
prescribed from the bodies natural anatomical
perspective. We do not use Yoga names and
references. Extreme postures that exceed optimal
ranges of motion generally are avoided. Fitness
Pilates exercises that target and positively enhance
the bodies postural muscles are included in this
workout. During FFY moves and postures can be
sequenced together to the beat of the music making
transitions seamless and graceful.
Who is
Freestyle Fitness Yoga appropriate for?
FFY is appropriate for many different target groups.
Health clubs, leisure centers & the community can
benefit from Fitness Yoga on the timetable as its
roots in fitness make it excellent prescription for
a total body programme where flexibility is often
the weakest link. Like all group exercise it can be
taught in many different levels to suit all age
ranges and abilities.
Who can teach?
In order to teach FFY you need a valid fitness or
group exercise qualification and current insurance.
We take for granted knowledge of anatomy &
physiology plus the instructors ability to identify
multi levels of the same exercise.
