The Ultimate Body & Mind Workout
Holistic Body Training Has been created to give you a total body
& mind
workout. It
will help you lose weight, keep fit, & healthy and reduce the
stress levels put upon us in everyday life.
We understand that today we have to juggle many
demands, and there is no better
way than to be healthy,
fit & stress free, to enable us to maximize our lives to
the full.
HBT is a low impact class designed to stretch tone &
strengthen the body as a whole rather than
building
big bulky muscle. The classes are for all ages and fitness
levels. They are non competitive with each individual
being guided through at their own pace.
Not racing or competing with others allows everyone to concentrate on their own body's movement and posture,
and therefore gain the most from the experience for themselves.
After
a few weeks you will notice an increased suppleness, firmer body
tone & vitality that practicing HBT brings.
This will
not just benefit you 'in the gym', but will help you in your day
to day life; a clearer mind with sharper focus and better
concentration, improved flexibility to bend &
stretch, reach & turn and move about with greater
ease.
Your balance & coordination will improve, your stamina & general
strength will
increase and you will feel more vibrant, confident & youthful.
HBT is a carefully designed mix of the best-of -the-best for your body
and mind, using long established,
recognized & highly regarded elements yoga,
meditation & martial arts along with dietary advice
for those looking for a little
extra.
The classes start with a brief meditation segment to clear & focus
the mind,
followed by a gentle warm-up to
ready the body for the session ahead.
Next a series of movements &
postures based on Martial arts start to raise the
heartbeat, increase
bloodflow, and work the cardio-vascular system, (heart &
lungs), whilst putting the body through a selected
range of action based
motions aimed at targeting specific body areas & performance
outcomes.
This is followed by a section
incorporating the benefits of both Hatha yoga
&
the flowing Ashtanga vinyasa in which the
body movements are coordinated
with the
flow of the breath. These tone
the body and stretch the muscles.
Next we
move on to Tai Chi-Chi Gong breathing to feed the body &
muscles
fresh oxygen and to 'cool down'.
Finally this is followed by a short meditation to leave you
feeling fresh, calm,
relaxed and
invigorated.
