Freestyle Fitness Yoga is a fitness programme that incorporates Yoga postures, Pilates exercises and deep stretch. It is validated from a fitness perspective and is not a spiritual experience - there is no dogma, chanting or philosophy attached to this workout. It mimics Yoga in its breathing and style offering postures that endorse strength and stability. Fitness Pilates and fitness exercises that target and positively enhance the body’s postural muscles are included in this workout. Students learn how to identify the bodies stabilizing muscles and use them effectively and efficiently to improve their posture and move with more confidence. They can expect to improve their flexibility significantly in 8 weeks.
Postures are prescribed from the body’s natural anatomical perspective using the language of fitness. We do not use Yoga names and references. Extreme postures that exceed optimal ranges of motion generally are avoided. Neither do we prescribe any exercise, posture or movement for the internal organs or for the benefit of disease. During FFY moves and postures can be sequenced together to the beat of the music making transitions seamless and graceful.

FitSteps® came to life in 2013 as the result of a collaboration between two of the UK’s most famous ballroom dancers and Britain’s most successful swimmer!
During the long, arduous dance training sessions that are an integral part of Britain’s most successful entertainment show, ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, Natalie Lowe, Mark Foster and Ian Waite had a great idea.
They decided to mix the graceful steps of Ballroom and the up tempo steps of the Latin dances together to create a really fun, energetic and effective way to stay fit and keep trim that would appeal to everyone, even if they couldn’t dance. They created FitSteps® - the unique dance fitness programme that is ‘so much fun you don’t even realise you’re getting fit!’
It is the first time that classic Latin and Ballroom dances have been brought together with proven fitness techniques and principles to create not only a programme that can have extraordinarily wide appeal, but one that also has the potential to make a real and lasting impact on the health of the nation.
The important point to note is the distinction between the plethora of dance classes that exist and FitSteps®. FitSteps® is a fitness class, delivered through dance. So, our emphasis is on helping people towards fitness; structuring the classes to deliver real, measurable, fitness results.
The programme is based around twelve of the most popular Latin and Ballroom dances. Each dance genre has specific steps matched to it.Our instructors are able to deliver these steps in varying degrees of intensity, adjusting the level of effort needed to accommodate the varying levels of fitness that could be found in any mixed ability class. This makes FitSteps® classes suitable and achievable for everyone, no matter what age, gender or previous experience. We’re proud to say that we have had people from the age of 9 to 74 participating in classes across the UK, all of whom loved the experience.
