Restore Balance to Your World

BODYBALANCE™ is the Yoga, Tai Chi, Pilates workout that builds flexibility and strength and leaves you feeling centred and calm. Controlled breathing, concentration and a carefully structured series of stretches, moves and poses to music create a holistic workout that brings the body into a state of harmony and balance.

What are the benefits of BODYBALANCE®?

BODYBALANCE® will help to keep you healthy because it integrates and balances all the body systems. It keeps the body supple, stretches the spine, strengthens the muscles and massages vital organs.

BODYBALANCE® is a natural form of stress release and an excellent form of preventative medicine bringing the body, mind and emotions into harmony.

Regular practice will lead to heightened physical co-ordination and balance between the left and right, front and back, top and bottom sides of the body. Often one side of the body is more flexible. We experience injury, pain and discomfort when the body is asymmetrical. BODYBALANCE® helps to restore symmetry, providing strength and flexibility in a balanced way. Poise and concentration also improve.

What parts of the body are worked on?

SKELETAL – the spine is the body’s foundation. The programme will allow the spine to move in all directions therefore promoting strength and flexibility by correcting alignment, freeing joints and releasing pressure from the inter-violent stretch. This stimulates circulation, prevents lactic acid build-up and corrects poor posture. Pain and tension leave the body.

MUSCULAR – tense muscles are usually short and tight. Yoga postures help to relax and lengthen all muscles with a slow, non-violent stretch. This stimulates circulation, prevents lactic acid build-up and corrects poor posture.

NERVOUS – balances the nervous system, reducing symptoms of stress and inducing a feeling of wellbeing.

ENDOCRINE (GLANDS) – hormonal production is regulated which cleanses the glands and helps with regulation of the metabolism.

RESPIRATORY/CARDIOVASCULAR – the heart is strengthened and massaged and lung capacity increases.

LYMPHATIC/IMMUNE SYSTEM – balances and strengthens the immune cells increasing the body’s ability to fight infection. The lymph glands are stimulated helping the drainage of body tissues.

How can I fit BODYBALANCE® into my regular exercise programme?

BODYBALANCE® complements the other ProActive programmes as well as other types of fitness activities. Its flexibility, core stability, whole body training and conscious breathing components when adapted to other activities, make those activities more fluid, effective, enjoyable and balanced. BODYBALANCE® can also work as a recovery programme on days when you want to workout but you need a different type of activity than your usual one. The BODYBALANCE® programme works to rejuvenate and rebalance your body after repetitive exercise.
