Yoglates II South Review (Highlandia Location)

So I’ve been going to Yoglates 2 South for on and off once a week for about half a year. I typically attend the 9:15 class on Mondays, and the instructor is usually the unsinkable April and she was definitely a drill instructor in a previous life- and I mean that in a good way. I came into Yogalates expecting some powderpuff pseudo-exercises, some stretching, some feel good mantras, and some rest and relaxation. What did I get? Sore muscles for a week. This surprised the heck out of me. I am a hardcore gym attendee and haven’t been sore from working out in probably a year yet this exercise class had me feeling the pain. It was a major, yet pleasant, surprise. The temperature is amped up to a grueling 250 degrees. Ok, so it’s not 250 degrees, but dang is it hot! You stretch, of course, but you also lunge, plank, squat, and perform other amazing feats of epic pain until your body is slenderized, sculpted, and exhausted, guided by the encouragement of your instructor who is simply not going to let you slack on it. You are left feeling sweaty, somewhat Superwoman-ish, and ready to take on the day. Yoglates is great for those who need something to reboot their fitness regime, want something a little different than your typical Bikram Yoga, or has become tired with the traditional fitness classes.

Welcome to Skinny Cult!

Hey good-lookin'! Welcome to my blog and my first post. I'm a thirtysomething-year-old Louisiana native who resides in the booming metropolis that is Baton Rouge. I hold a full time job, I'm a business owner, wife, and doting mother to a spoiled Yorkie by the name of Gigi. My husband owns Full Blown Paint, a custom paint and graphics shop operating out of Gonzales, and we both own Stitch Cult, an online retail store selling kustom kulture tshirts, custom handmade bags, purses, and other accessories. We are both avid fitness enthusiasts. Joel prefers weightlifting and bike riding, and I'm game for anything from yoglates to Pilates to yoga to barre to pole fitness and the list goes on! You can expect some workout tips, reviews of local fitness crazes, summaries and reviews of new diet fads, pretty much anything that is upcoming in the fitness world- but I'm drawing the line at colonics. Ain't no way. If you have any tips, suggestions, or anything you like to hear about feel free to drop me a line at stitchcult@yahoo.com. I look forward to embarrassing myself on the World Wide Web for you guys!
