Yogalates with a pair of sliders to challenge your strength and balance. We start on the floor with abs, obliques and hips then pull it all together with standing lunges and a warrior 2 sequence followed by a warm down. All levels with options to keep it simple or level up and increase intensity. You are always encouraged to make the practice work with your needs.

We're using sliders and a sturdy chair focussing primarily on hip strengthening, namely your glutes, hamstrings inner and outer thighs and challenging our balance. We're also using the chair for upper body mobility and strength, upward/down ward dog and tricep dips. If you don't have dedicated sliders use these alternatives: For wooden floors use a pair of folded hand towels (socks can be used but bear in mind you'll need to remove them for the non slidey work as it's a slip hazard) On carpet cut out cardboard or paper plates work great.
