Definitely a great workout with activities that I normally wouldn't have attempted.
Anti-gravity yoga wasn't as exciting as I expected. The poses were challenging and it was definitively fun to attempt the cool poses. However, I did not enjoy the hanging upside down or swinging back and forth. When hanging upside down, I felt like I was going to fall out even though the instructor promised I wouldn't. Still a little scary when there isn't a mat underneath you. There are a few poses where you are told to relax but rocking back and forth while trying to relax made me so nauseous! I know this is because of my extreme motion sickness so hopefully it was better for others!
Strength & Toning was much better! It was like a tumbling class for adults which was awesome. Somersaults, Cartwheels, & even handstands! I was a gymnast as a kid but only for a few years so I was surprised my body remembered how to do everything! I was even able to do the candlestick pose with the instructor which was the highlight of the class for me!
Flexibility was my favorite class of all. Seems weird considering all the other exciting workouts Shine offers but this class made me feel amazing. While doing the poses, you are in pain. You are stretching muscles that I didn't even think existed. I have scoliosis and have never been able to sit in a pike and touch my head to my knees. With the guidance of the instructor, I learned how to stretch my back vs. bending and was able to touch my knees!! It was very exciting.
I love to stay active but get bored of the normal gym. I definitely plan on signing up for Strength & Toning along with Flexibility. I am determined to do more exciting poses like the candlestick and can't wait to touch my toes again! It's the little things in life :)
