What is Yoga?
Yoga is a 5000 year old Eastern energy-based practice developed in India. It is based on a system of moves to unlock energy flows while increasing flexibility and toning internal and external muscles. The benefits of Yoga are numerous and can include improved physical fitness, stress control, mental clarity, and general well-being. The physical postures enhance muscular strength, coordination, flexibility and agility. People of all ages can practice Yoga.
What is Pilates?
Pilates is a Western philosophy developed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920s. He designed this restorative and conditioning technique to help people overcome injuries and postural misalignment and to improve general core weakness. While Joseph Pilates' traditional exercises were traditionally used for the training and rehabilitation of dancers with hyperextension injuries, these exercises are not all appropriate for today's everyday person who sits flexed for most of the day. Pilates matwork involves concentrated moves, requiring you to set a posture and then challenge the torso by moving the limbs in a repetitious manner.
What is Muay Thai Kickboxing and Self Defense (Martial Arts)?
Thai Kickboxing, aka Muay Thai, is a martial art form referred to as the
"Art of Eight Limbs" because it uses punch, kick, elbow and knee
strikes (8 "points" of contact) as opposed to Western Boxing (2 pts.)
and sport-oriented martial arts (4 pts). Martial arts based Self Defense can include standing, grappling and take down defenses based on "real life" situations. You can learn more about our martial arts program at FightWise at FitnessWise.
