Be The Light Fusion

About this class

What do you call a mix between Pilates and Yin? Yin-lates or Pilate-yin? Perhaps we call it the ultimate Burn-Bliss session… ever! We stay low to the Earth (which is always nice), start with thunderbolt Pilates which works the outside of the thigh and side booty, stretch it out straight after with the most delicious Yin-style twist. Moving through to crunches, creating burn in the mid-section, then yin it out with the best booty stretch ever… 32 minutes of Burn-Bliss.

Alignment notes

For Thunderbolt, the shoulder, booty and feet are all in one line. Legs are outstretched further than your regular Oyster. Ensure you press the forearm on the Earth down, this way you won’t drop into the shoulder. Focus on bringing ribs toward the hips and the belly button drawing in, this will allow a lift of the underside of the body. OPTION: leave all crunches and upper body movements out of your practise, simply do the leg movements, this is still an epic core workout! For Deer Pose Twist, you can use a bolster or cushion under the torso for extra support. Focus on letting go of tension. Focus on the breath. For Reclined Pigeon twist, ensure the top foot is flexed and over the bent knee to protect the joints.
