Similar to Yoga, Pilates is a also system of exercises but instead require special apparatus designed to improve physical strength, flexibility and posture whilst enhancing mental awareness. 

Yogalates is a unique and dynamic fitness routine that combines Pilate’s exercises with the postures and breathing techniques of Yoga.

 The Yogalates method is renowned for its standard of safety, and for the way it makes Yoga and Pilates safe and accessible for a wide population.
The method draws upon the fundamental foundation of Exercise Physiology (prescriptive exercises in functional patterns of movement and postural evaluation), Physiotherapy exercises and Yoga Therapy.

 Louise has been practicing Yoga for over 25 years and Pilates for 18 years. Louise completed her Pilates Teacher Training in 1992 and taught Pilates exclusively in the early nineties (well before the Pilates mat class existed). In 1994 Louise attained certification in Yoga Teaching from Yoga Arts, Byron Bay. Being concerned with the high incidence of injuries Louise saw in Yoga classes, she developed and began to teach her own method of Yoga & Pilates fusion; Yogalates TM.

 In each class the participants are encouraged to apply the philosophical aspects of Yoga so that they don’t force their body but rather work with awareness and the breath so that the practice is satisfying and safe.

 The first Yogalates Teacher Training Course ran in 2000. Due to the popularity of the Yogalates method and the course, Louise applied to VETAB in 2000 to become a Registered Training Organization and formed the Yoga Pilates Training Academy at the Suffolk Park Hall.

Yogalates is an ever-evolving method which embraces the latest research and methodology on functional movement, back care and exercise therapeutics. In the teacher training programs a personalized approach is emphasized whereby the practice is modified to suit the client.

Yogalates Online is an online Streaming website where you can pay a subscription monthly to view our DVDs and videos online through a web browser.

Not at all. You just have to be ready and willing. The practice of Yogalates is modified to suit each client and this particular feature is what really sets apart Yogalates as being an incredible form of exercise for everybody.

Of course! Whether you are practicing at home with one of our DVDs or participating in one of our classes you will always be given full instruction and never pushed beyond your own capabilities. 

Flexibility is a great benefit of Yogalates so this will come with time! Most people who start aren’t very flexible. You will work our way up from the basic exercises to the most advanced ones at a pace that suits you. Practice makes perfect.

Always get clearance from your doctor or physician first but you can rest assured knowing our instructors will always take great care in taking care of you ensuring you feel at ease and are exercising at a pace and pattern which suits you. 

There are Yoga props available to purchase and we will of course show you exactly what you need and advise on the best possible purchases. Usually the most popular and beneficial Yoga props are Yoga mats, Yoga straps, blankets and blocks. 

You can view which classes are available here or you can get in touch with us and we will give you all the help you will need. 

Yoga is a unique exercise that focuses on both body and mind. Yoga consists of a variety of body positions, postures, poses, stretches and shapes all designed to build flexibility and muscle tone. Yoga also helps you focus your mind and thoughts; through meditation you can reap huge benefits. 

There are many different kinds of yoga out there but the kind of yoga you’ll see on MyYogaWorks consists of postures, body positions, called asanas that are designed to make your body stronger and more flexible as they quiet your mind, boost your energy level and make you feel totally amazing. The yoga we offer on MyYogaWorks is not a religion or a philosophy, it is a physical tool and a practice to help you become your very best.

Because YogaWorks has been at this for a long time. All the way back in 1986 YogaWorks was the first yoga studio to bring together the best yoga teachers from many different styles and approaches to teach in one place. We have also been training teachers for over twenty years. Our teaching philosophy incorporates intelligent, safe sequencing with clear instructions. The MyYogaWorks teachers have grown out of our years of providing the best yoga classes, workshops and trainings. They are experts, scrupulously trained, passionate, experienced, and focused on YOU!

No experience or fitness level is required. Students in their 20s and their 70s alike are drawn to and benefit from a consistent yoga practice. It doesn’t matter if you are an elite athlete or if you haven’t exercised in years—you will be challenged at an appropriate level for you.

If you’re a yoga newbie, welcome! MyYogaWorks is a great way to learn some of the basic yoga moves before ever entering one of our studios. This way when you do decide to go to class, you’ll already be a pro! We recommend beginners choose “level one” from the level menu and start with some of our shorter tutorials (like the “meet” series). One other tip: consider watching the videos you want to practice to all the way through first and then practicing with it.
