My latest and greatest creation: YogaFit Burst!
Designing this workshop has been a true labour of love. I’m still doing Shaun-T’s original Insanity DVDs from 2010. I remember the moment I saw the infomercials with the line, “If you like working out in a pool of your own sweat, then Insanity is for you.” I literally walked upstairs to my computer and placed my order.
While I still like working out in a pool of my own sweat, I’m not 22 anymore and we know so much more about interval training and recovery. High intensity workouts have gotten a bad rap recently for raising cortisol, causing injuries and disrupting sleep. BUT with a few mindful tweaks, intervals are fantastic for mood, women’s health, longevity and cardiovascular health. My favourite benefit in the research is that people are far more likely to stick to interval workout programs than steady state exercise because they enjoy it more.
So what is YogaFit Burst?
It’s the best of both worlds: high intensity intervals or “bursts” of high effort, interwoven with vinyasa yoga for recovery and nervous system balance. In order to get the benefits of true interval training, rest and recovery are crucial. Otherwise, it’s gruelling high intensity cardio, which can in fact raise cortisol and leave you feeling totally depleted. Burst will give you that end of class yoga glow where you know you have worked hard but feel refreshed and satisfied.
