Inferno Hot Pilates
Inferno Hot Pilates is a high intensity interval training (HIIT) class utilizing the Pilates principle of control. Class is 60 minutes and is practiced at 95°, set to invigorating music to get you working HARD. It is a total body workout. Each class moves through a series of exercises designed to tone different parts of the body. We use the Tabatas style method of 8 sets of repetitions, with 20 seconds of activity and 10 seconds of rest. The strength work ensures you build muscle endurance. The Tabatas method is proven to create long lean muscle mass, fast.
Practicing Inferno Hot Pilates in the heat helps boost your metabolism and adds a cardio aspect to the workout. It is high intensity but low impact, so no major stress is being put on your joints. The sweating is also great for your skin and increasing circulation.
Hot Pilates is a great cross training option for runners, cyclists and those who love lifting weights at the gym.
Because of the excess post exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC, or afterburn) you continue to burn calories up to 48 hours after class, for a total of up to 500 calories obliterated from one class! Give it a try. You won’t be sorry!

Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is a complementary yoga practice to the more dynamic yoga styles that are predominant today. Some call it the “other half of yoga.”
In Yin Yoga, floor postures are held passively for several minutes in order to access a safe and positive ‘stress’ on the deep layers of connective tissue in the body. Since connective tissue includes all the fascia, muscles, tendons and ligaments that make up our body and are responsible for all movement, yin yoga is a whole body exercise - just not in the same way that more ‘yang’ styles or modalities of yoga are.
Physically, Yin Yoga restores and maintains the natural mobility of the joints, primarily between the navel and the knees. Energetically, Yin Yoga opens the body’s meridian system, which enhances the body’s energetic flow and supports emotional equilibrium.
As this practice emphasizes stillness and silence, Yin Yoga prepares both the body and the mind for deeper experiences in meditation.
