John Harris' 60-minute Yogalates class combines the most effective and best of yoga and Pilates. Stretch, strengthen and meditate- all in one class. After a short warm-up, you start the varied course, which perfectly balances the typical Pilates power training and the well-known meditative yoga.
Different breathing techniques and the training of deep-lying, but essential muscle groups are the common thread throughout the entire training.

In Calmness lies the strength – Asana Yoga
Asanas strengthen body and mind.
Asanas are the resting positions in yoga. However, it is not only the postures themselves that are important, but also the correct way of entering and dissolving them. The quality comes from correct breathing, which is one of the most important basics in yoga. If you breathe correctly and are active in the Asana position, you learn to clear your mind. Now, you might think that these poses are just relaxing. Quite the opposite! Many of the yoga Asanas are practiced with active muscle tension and are only really correct when the body is consciously held while doing so. A Yoga Asana is e.g., also the “plank” (Chaturanga Dandasana), which is popular among fitness fans today.
