One of the newest
yoga and Pilates trends has been Yogalates. As the amalgamated name indicates, when yoga and Pilates meet, you get Yogalates, an awesome east-meets-west kind of union. Founded by Judith Solomon, Yogalates was developed when she realized that Pilates lacked the ambiance of the yoga room, but that yoga lacked the core strengthening of Pilates. Hence, a new lineage was born. Yogalates is not to be confused with Yogalate, which is just a Karmically enlightened cup of coffee.
You can find Yogalates DVDs with a range of foci from Yogalates for weight loss to relaxation. However, a comprehensive Yogalates workout should be able to encompass both. Solomon Yogalates can be found on DVD, as well, if you want to learn from the founder, herself.
Judith Solomon currently has six different Yogalates DVDs. The Breakthrough Workout is designed with the meditative elements of yoga and the muscle toning and strengthening of Pilates. It has two 25 minutes workouts and comes with a complimentary resistance band. Total Body Toner includes four workouts which each target different parts of the body. Ultimate is designed specifically for morning practice and is divided into three 20-minute workouts. Solomon also includes nutritional advice on this DVD. The forth DVD, Energize, includes a bonus of “meditation basics, to compliment the high-heat regimen of resistance band training.
Firm, Fit and Flexible focuses entirely on flexibility and creating long lean muscles that are strong without being bulky. As an added bonus, she includes a stretch guide booklet, which helps you alleviate tension along common tension points on the body. Last, Weight Loss, hit the market and was instantly popular. This Yogalates DVD encompasses two workouts—one that tones, and the other that burns fat. The Core Toning Workout is designed to target belly fat, by creating more fat-burning muscle cells in your core. The Cardio Enhancer involves quick vinyasas that truly raise the heart rate, hence shrinking fat cells. It ends with ten minutes of relaxation techniques, which many do not realize are integral to weight loss.
Expanding your existing yoga or Pilates practice to encompass Yogalates can be a fun way to explore new parts of both forms of fitness. And if you have moved through all of Judith Solomon’s books and DVDs, you will be happy to know that there are rising stars in the Yogalates world, meaning you have many more DVDs to try.
