Les Mills BARRE is a modern version of classic balletic training; a 30-minute workout designed to shape and tone postural muscles, build core strength, and allow you to escape the everyday. Incorporating classic ballet positions, with modern music, LES MILLS BARRE is a combination of cardio and strength with high reps of small range-of-motion movements and very light weights. If you’re seeking a different style of training or a new kind of self-expression, you will love LES MILLS BARRE. Without the traditional barre to support you, the muscles supporting your body’s stability and strength becomes the focus.
Hot Yin Yang is a slow-paced style of yoga with postures or asanas that are held for longer periods of time -from 45 seconds to five minutes or more.Yin yoga poses apply moderate stress to the connective tissues of the body: the tendons, fascia and ligament, with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. Breathin technique (pranayama) is a big part of Yin class. By concentrating on the regulation of the breath through the exercise we can let go of control and tensions. Yin exercise is the cultivation of inner stillness.
Studio Tempo is wellnes center for women, but everyone is welcome to the classes in Sports afternoon and in SYKETTÄ sport calendar!
