BlendFit is Sarah’s signature class that gives you and your body a bit of everything! You will begin with some high energy cardio, boxing inspired movement; blending neatly into some barre work (we’ll use chairs) to tone and define the entire body and follow this with some core strength to work on your strength and stability. You will end with a stretch and cool down, feeling revitalised and full of energy.
In this session, you will learn how mindfulness - which is a way of focusing your attention on the present moment - can help your brain work better, manage stress, think clearer, and manage your mood. You'll find out how it can help you sleep better, feel healthier, and even deal with pain more effectively. Shamash guides you on how to start practising mindfulness - starting with just 10 seconds a day and slowly increasing over time.
