Experience the Balance of Body and Mind 🧠💪

Body Balance is a holistic fitness approach that draws from three complementary disciplines to deliver a complete mind-body workout. This popular class format has become a favourite among Kiwis looking to improve flexibility, strength and mental clarity in one session.

The Tai Chi elements bring flowing movements that improve balance and coordination while reducing stress. Yoga poses enhance flexibility, correct posture and build functional strength. The Pilates components target your core muscles, improving stability and posture.

Regular participation in Body Balance can help:

• Improve flexibility and joint mobility
• Enhance core strength and stability
• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Improve posture and alignment
• Increase mind-body connection
• Boost overall sense of wellbeing

The controlled nature of the movements makes Body Balance an excellent complement to more high-intensity training, providing essential recovery while still building strength. The breathing techniques taught in class can be applied in everyday life to manage stress and improve focus.

🌿 While accessible to many fitness levels, this specific class is designed for those with good mobility and fitness (Level 3), making it perfect for participants looking for a moderate challenge while still enjoying the calming benefits of mind-body exercise.
