YoLarates™ is a blend of yoga, Pilates and ballet moves as interpreted by Lara. The class starts with a warm-up of basic moves from yoga and ballet, followed by sun and moon salutations.  We then move to the ballet portion of class, which also includes aspects from Callanetics & the Lotte Berk Method.  The class continues onto the floor for a little more leg & butt work before concentrating on Pilates abs exercises. A cool-down and stretch complete the class.
