Last week my friend, Lizzie and I tried a new class, Bodyflow Express. Bodyflow Express is basically a yoga class. When I walked into the studio I felt a sense of calmness in the air, the lights were dim, everyone was sitting on their mats, and there was soft music playing. The instructor, Leiana told us to get a mat out and lay it out on the floor and to take our shoes off. She then put on calming music and started with the first move. In my mind I thought this class was going to be so easy, I’ll breeze right through it. Well, I was definitely wrong! We did a move where we went into a deep lunge with our arms out at an angle and my legs started shaking. Leiana said “if your legs are starting to shake it is a good thing!” During the moves Leiana said “breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth slowly.” While doing that it let me feel relaxed throughout my entire body! At the end of the class we stretched and laid on our backs and focused on a part of the body that may still be shaky and breathed in through our nose and out through our mouth until it went away. While walking out of the class I felt relaxed and my whole body was loose. This class is a great class for women to take! There are a lot of benefits to taking yoga. You can build muscle, tone your body, feel relaxed, and become more flexible. I know I will take Bodyflow Express again. I loved the feeling I got from it, and it was definitely a workout!
Paige, I have recently also tried body flow express at my gym also and I love it! I also thought it would be a lot easier than it was, but it was totally worth it. It was definitely a class that would be a good start to your day! After I took this class I was also really relaxed and I felt rejuvenated after. I generally don’t take many classes at the gym I go to so I will be looking forward to reading up on the classes you like and don’t. I love to workout and I’m always looking for new tips.
