Let go of your inhibitions, channel your inner Cirque-Star and swing away from your hum-drum workout routine.
At Studio In Essence, getting fit and having fun go hand in hand, so expect the unexpected.
This studio’s Aerial Silks class gives new meaning to letting your hair down. Circus performance arts meld with dance to target abs, arms and tush. Hanging upside down supported by sturdy silk hammocks is a heavenly way to stretch, relax and, well, let it all hang out.
Give your yoga practice a lift with Aerial Yoga and Conditioning. The silk hammocks support body weight, making postural alignment easier.
Or try wrapping yourself around a Pole Dancing class. Instructors ease students into a series of moves and routines designed to energize and shake up any fitness regime.
For a trip down memory lane, try a Hula Hoop class. But don’t expect the light colourful hoops of your childhood memories. Weighted and textured hoops make this 600-calorie blast an intense workout.
Pilates, Zumba classes, GYROTONIC and personal training are other fitness options offered by this compassionate team of highly qualified instructors who want to see you sweat and smile.
The studio space is funky and loft-like with hardwood floors, exposed brick walls and a bright yellow and blue colour scheme. And, of course, take notice of the strategically placed floor to ceiling poles and assorted apparatus.
No need to run away with the circus to satisfy your wild side.
