Heated to 78-80 degrees, this class will boost your metabolism and push your strength and flexibility to new heights. Free weights are added to the sequence, creating resistance and intensifying each pose. Strength-training exercises such as squats, lunges, bicep and tricep curls are incorporated to build lean muscle mass.

Set to a beat-driven playlist it encourages a release of linear-style fitness and explores fluid, expressive movement; woven into a journey through African Dance, Native American footwork, Hip Hop, Bollywood Dance, and more. We honor the wisdom of movement traditions from around the world, gratefully acknowledging the soul in each as we build strength, and improve endurance and flexibility. It’s fun, and funky and transports you to a place of wild abandon and celebration.
