Garuda yoga: contemporary dance infused with yoga and Pilates

Developed by Englishman James DaSilva, this method reinvents Pilates and makes it less rigid by mixing it with yoga and dance. Surprisingly, it is practiced on the ground, on stools, but also on a machine, the Garuda, which resembles the Pilates Reformer but which allows a more varied repertoire of exercises. The goal? Strengthen the whole body while working on your endurance to eliminate as many calories as possible. At Klay, 4 bis, rue Saint-Sauveur, Paris-2nd. €1,990 per year. klay.fr

Find (and keep) motivation

We follow the 10 tips of two Parisian super-coaches, Benjamin Ben Othmane who officiates at Klay and Blanche (1 to 5), and Lisa Esteve Pacoud, from Dynamo and Riise (6 to 10):

1. “We don't hesitate to test several disciplines to find the one that really suits us, to have fun and not get bored. »

2. “We take it slowly so as not to get discouraged. »

3. “We set realistic goals. »

4. “If necessary, we focus on a food rebalancing. And we drink at least 1.5 liters of water a day to cleanse the body. »

5. “When you're too lazy to take a gym class, you prepare a playlist and walk at least 30 minutes every three days. »

6. “We sign up for a course with one or more girlfriends. »

7. “You note your sports sessions in your diary, just like a professional meeting. »

8. “If we are short on time, we opt for online courses. »

9. “We try to meditate at least five minutes every morning, to boost the desire to take care of ourselves. »

10. “We treat ourselves to a pretty outfit or an accessory (water bottle, bag). »

STAND STRAIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR COMPUTER

According to Delgis Garcia, chiropractor at Pole Recup in Paris (polerecup.com), to limit back pain, it is above all essential to properly adjust your chair and the height of your computer screen. “The seat must be slightly higher than the knees, the buttocks are well back, the back is straight, with the distance of a fist between the edge of the chair and the hollow of the knee. Then, the top of the screen must reach eye level (even if it means raising it with a shoebox). “Finally, we take care not to cross our legs to avoid shifting the pelvis.

WHAT STRETCHES CAN YOU DO DURING THE DAY?

The secret to relieving tension is movement. “We try to make our phone calls while walking and we never stay seated for more than an hour. Every half hour, we release the head to the right, and we pull it gently towards the shoulder with the right hand, then we do the same thing on the other side, ”recommends Delgis Garcia. And to relieve the lower back, we focus on yoga. “The dog upside down (hands on the ground, buttocks towards the sky with the legs as stretched as possible) is the best exercise to relax and revive blood circulation”, explains coach Blandine Piaget.
