Yoga routines to try at home or outdoors at the studio

While staying healthy is definitely for everyone, exercising in a public space may not be. Some of us like to keep our workout routines private and that's perfectly fine with us! For those who have anxiety relating to their bodies or simply prefer the privacy of their own home.

Yoga is a universal health and wellness movement which originated in Ancient India. What makes Yoga so accessible to all ages and levels of fitness is that each yoga routine requires a passive and spiritual approach to improving your strength, balance, and overall flexibility.

Yoga comprises a sequence of slow deliberate movements which work in tandem with deep breathing exercises in order to improve blood flow and warm up your muscles. By holding poses and attaining good balance, you will be able to work on your core strength. What's more, Yoga is an excellent routine for muscle pain relief and mental anguish such as depression.

Martial Arts Classes

In today's stress-free and less than safe environment, understanding how to defend yourself is not only important for survival but is an excellent release for pent up frustration and anxiety. Nothing quite teaches you self-discipline and respect like the knowledge and physical ability to handle yourself in sparring.

Choosing the right form of martial art depends on your level of fitness and also how much time and effort you're willing to invest in some of the more advanced techniques of self-defence. All forms of martial arts have a certain type of goal in mind. Are you learning to practice self-defence? Or are you working towards honing lightning-fast reflexes and going on the offence?

For beginners Muay Thai (Kickboxing) is considered an excellent starting point that forms the baseline for many MMA career fighters. Muay Thai originates from Thailand and focuses on "the art of eight limbs" which effectively means a hybrid of both boxing and kicks.

Developed by one of the most advanced military forces in the world, Krav Maga is an Israeli form of martial art that literally translates to "battle contact." Krav Maga is a fast-paced defensive routine that teaches people how to adapt to real-life scenarios. This may include dealing with knife attacks to learning how to properly disarm assailants.

Self-defence classes take quite a bit of energy and enthusiasm to maintain, some even compare their training routines to some of the most gruelling fitness workout regimes which means that a persistent and dedicated approach will not only help you learn to defend yourself, but you'll become leaner and stronger in the process.
