Step onto the Floating Studio
FiTMAT
The FiTMat is an aquatic floating fitness mat made specifically for pools. FLUIDFiT is a fitness regimen developed by combining the best aspects of key proven core movements from yoga and boot camp type workouts to rehabilitation and kids classes. The FiTMAT provides a unique Aquatic Base that intensifies these movements, creating focus on core muscle groups and improving balance and coordination. While FLUIDFiT provides challenges to even the most fit individuals, the program was designed for universal scalability, making it the perfect fitness program for all levels, regardless of experience. Since FiTMAT provides a dynamic base, the harder you work, the more difficult and intense the workout becomes.
It's unlike any other class you have participated in before! Our FLUIDFIT classes are a unique blend of isometric and plyometric exercises that are designed to keep your core strong while increasing flexibility and functional movement.

We will blend isometric and plyometric exercises like planks, push ups, burpees, lunges, squats, water-climbers and on-board sprints to get the blood pumping.

We will take time to become acquainted with the board by learning how to align your body to evenly distribute weight and create balance. The floating studio provides the perfect setting to let go of the monkey mind and be fully present in the moment. After a short meditation and gentle stretching we will heat things up with sun salutations and a progressive practice where you can challenge yourself and redefine body awareness on an unstable foundation. This practice is meant to be joyful and fun, with options available for all levels and ages. There will be plenty of play time to test out your favorite poses on the water. The practice closes with a seated flow leading you into a blissful floating Savasana. Be prepared to laugh, have fun and test the waters!

The gentle and therapeutic nature of the Zen Float practice, coupled with the soothing effects of water on the central nervous system, make it a perfect time to engage the self in mind, body and spirit.
Most think of floating yoga as a fun way to test your balance and challenge your yoga practice, but imagine doing your meditation, breathwork and asana practice while floating on gentle waves. This non-intimidating #ZenFloat will provide participants with quality instructions on basic water awareness and modified yoga poses to efficiently enhance their comfort on the water. If yoga on a floating mat seems intimidating, this class will be the perfect introduction, as most poses are seated, supine or prone and done while floating over therapeutic temp waters.
Our Zen Float class consists of a floating yoga sequence that emphasizes relaxation, meditation, and lengthening the connective tissues of the body. Persons with aches and pains float for relief. Every muscle is able to fully rest and recover. Some float to strengthen their mental edge and to relax tight muscles. Athletes have found that doing #Zen Float in conjunction with a regular training program has improved their athletic performance. Floating yoga can help to aid in preventing sports injuries and shorten recovery time. Those who tend to have swollen or tired feet from standing all day float to reduce swelling and restore. Others with chronic issues practice in order to preserve muscle mass and maintain strength. Join us for a safe & effective way to increase range of motion, mobility & balance, & to reduce pain.

Moonlight Paddleboard Yoga
