What is BodyBalance® and Why Kiwis Love It? 🧠💪

BodyBalance® is a popular Les Mills workout that has gained a strong following across New Zealand. This mind-body programme combines elements from yoga, Tai Chi and Pilates to create a comprehensive workout that improves flexibility, builds core strength, and promotes mental wellbeing.

During each 55-minute class, you'll flow through a series of simple yet challenging movements, stretches and poses. The workout is set to calming music that helps you focus on controlled breathing and proper technique.

Regular participation in BodyBalance® offers numerous benefits:

• Improved flexibility through gentle stretching sequences that target major muscle groups
• Enhanced core strength using Pilates-inspired movements that stabilise your body
• Better balance and coordination from Tai Chi elements that focus on controlled movements
• Reduced stress thanks to mindfulness techniques and controlled breathing
• Improved posture by strengthening postural muscles and increasing body awareness

This Level 3 class at Stanmore Bay is designed for participants with good mobility and fitness levels. Newcomers with appropriate fitness can still join but should inform the instructor of any limitations before class begins.

BodyBalance® is especially popular among Kiwis looking for a workout that delivers physical benefits while also supporting mental wellbeing. The class ends with a relaxation segment that leaves participants feeling refreshed, centered and ready to tackle whatever the day brings.
