30 minute Yogalates workout – Combining Yoga and Pilates for a Mindful Workout!

//  by 

Sharing my 30 minute yogalates workout. Typically I'm a high-energy person but somedays (ie: most of winter) I struggle. On those days I have what I call my MVW. A minimum viable workout that I do to check my workout off my to-do list. It's a more mindful exercise class that's slow and allows me to go inwards while working on maintenance without going "hard". Don't be fooled it's not 'easy'. The challenge here is staying mindful and seeing it through! If you can’t view the embedded video …

One thing I am known for at the yoga studio is core, strength and challenging classes. While I have a soft side, I also trained for 20+ years as a Personal Trainer.

//  by 

People who go to my spinning and bodypump classes are always shocked when I do yoga. I have an ability to turn off my manic "go, push, harder" persona and slip into my inner yogi. Yoga is something I've done since I was around 13. I remember going to classes at the local church hall, and while I may not practice consistently it's always something I've come back to over the last 30 years (geez I feel old now!). I love blending yoga and pilates together, along with other forms of exercise into a …

If you can’t view the embedded video above, you can view the video on YouTube. Maybe add it to a playlist? Above all, remember to subscribe to my channel. New videos are uploaded …
