Heated Yoga at Tranquillity

• With Sabina & Andrew
• Styles: Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Flow
• Tuesday @  8.00pm + 9.00pm.
• Wednesday + Thursday @ 10.15am + 11.15am.
• Downstairs Studio

Our heated room has 31۫ allowing the practitioner to safely come deeper into asanas (poses or stretches). Warm muscles stretch further and with reduced risk of injury. Heat increases the pulse and the body burns more calories in its efforts to stay cool while exercising.

Benefits of Heated Yoga at Tranquillity

Flexibility
Heated yoga advocates propose that stretching warm muscles is more effective and lets the practitioner get deeper into poses. Because stretching is an effective way to increase flexibility, yoga can help improve ones range of motion, prevent injuries in exercise, and help a person heal from previous injuries.

Weight Loss
Because heated yoga increases the pulse rate, the body works to maintain thermoregulation, increasing calorie expenditure without the impact on joints of other calisthenic exercise regimens. Yoga is also purported to increase oxidation of fat cells.

Stress Relief
Exercise, deep breathing, and meditation have been shown to reduce stress levels, and heated yoga combines all three. Lower stress levels allow for better and easier sleep, reduce weight gain, reduce risk of illness and injury, lowers heart rate and blood pressure, and improves mood.

Immune System
Raising one’s core temperature simulates fever-like conditions in the body, increasing white blood cell production and combatting viruses and bacteria. Stress weakens the immune system, so activities that reduce stress also reduce susceptibility to illness.

Aches, injuries and arthritis
Many joints, including and especially the vertebrae, stop lubricating as efficiently when a person enters their thirties. Yoga promotes joint lubrication which can alleviate general feelings of stiffness and discomfort, both reactively and proactively

Increased Performance
Many athletes and hobbyists take up heated yoga to improve performance in other activities. Well-stretched muscles have better range of motion and are less prone to tearing. Joints in proper alignment are less injury-prone in high-impact sports. The breath control of yoga improves performance in cardiovascular and anaerobic activities.

Aqua Aerobics at Tranquillity

• With Sharon & Sabina
• Monday and Wednesday @ 8.00pm
• Monday and Friday @ 11.30am
• Aqua Classes  Free for Members!

This form of exercising works for any and everyone no matter how much experience you have with fitness training or working out on your own. People choose to do something that includes fun, rather than a routine that is just considered work with little to no motivation, and this is the reason why aqua aerobics have become increasingly popular amongst those that love to workout. While having fun in the water, you can become toned, and have much more flexibility than what you could ever imagine.

Benefits of Aqua Aerobics at Tranquillity:

Aqua aerobics supports the body and reduces the risk of muscle or joint injury. The mitigation of gravity by flotation places less stress on the joints when stretching, and can allow a greater range of motion. The mitigation of gravity makes Aqua aerobics safe for individuals able to keep their heads out of water, including the elderly.

Water exercise classes focus on both cardiovascular and strength benefits. Whether you’re trying to maintain your current level of fitness or reach a new level, the added benefit of training in water makes our aqua workouts safe and fun without impact to the joints.

These classes may use resistance tools that include water weights and noodles. Because of their low-impact format, aqua aerobics classes are suitable for every fitness level – from beginning exercisers through elite athletes. Everyone is welcome!

Aqua Aerobics are best for those that cannot handle the pressure that any other ordinary workout would put on them. Even people who suffer from arthritis may want to give these classes a try!

For people that may have gone through some sort of traumatic situation such as surgery or a car accident, Aqua Aerobics would be great because it would be a lot easier and gentle on their bodies. Aqua Aerobics also help to relax the muscles and joints which and keep them from being too tense after a workout.

Pregnant women as well as anyone else can benefit from aqua aerobics as well. A pregnant woman will be a lot more strengthened and prepared for birth if she does aqua aerobics on a regular basis.
