What is Yogalates and what do you do in class?

We combine yoga with Pilates to build core strength, flexibility and strength across major muscle groups, with a strong focus on breathing techniques.

Where do I meet and what should I expect from your approach?

We connect mind, body, breath and spirit, using functional anatomy to support stability, posture, balance, tone and overall fitness.
