WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
Comfortable workout clothes. Check out the Les Mills BODYBALANCE® clothing range, designed with each of our classes in mind.
Don’t worry about shoes, as you will do the class barefoot.
A yoga mat isn’t essential, but bring one if you like. Some clubs may specifically ask you to do so.

 

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TAKE A CLASS?
While you’ll feel real benefits from coming to class just once a week, most people try to come three times a week. It’s really up to you!

 

BODYBALANCE® is the Yoga, Tai Chi, Pilates workout that builds flexibility and strength and leaves you feeling centered and calm. Controlled breathing, concentration and a carefully structured series of stretches, moves and poses to music create a holistic workout that brings the body into a state of harmony and balance. Like all the Les Mills programmes, a new BODYBALANCE® class is released every three months with new music and choreography. 

LEARN THE MOVES

A TYPICAL CLASS

Each class is made up of 45 minutes of simple but challenging exercises, followed by 10 minutes of relaxation and meditation.

 

1 You will begin with easy, flowing Tai Chi moves to leave your day behind, center yourself and warm your body.
2 The instructor will then take you through various yoga and pilates sequences to strengthen and tone your key muscle groups. Poses and stretches are used to create suppleness and flexibility.
3 The final 10 minutes are set aside for the widely acknowledged mental and physiological benefits of meditation which also enhances the effects of the exercise.
