Powering through and sticking to an active schedule takes not only physical stamina, but also great mental fortitude. Aiming to strike a connection between the mind and body, Mossa Group Centergy finds a harmonic balance between multiple different disciplines. Merging together specialised yoga as well as pilates, their custom program is optimised to aid participants enhance their sense of balance, mobility, flexibility, and strength. It is a head-to-toe practice that allows you to redefine yourself.

Accompanied by 10 musical sets, the session is split into three main sections. It begins with a gradual easing into fluid movement, involving three sets of dynamic warm-ups drawn from classic yoga postures, such as warriors in variation. Feel loosened up and unshackled with broad and open movements that are great for tapping into the interconnected junction between your level of energy, muscles, and pattern of breathing.

Next comes the middle section which is all about the core! Although it may not come across as a strenuous endeavour, approaching core balancing activities with mindful effort will pack a punch with its effects. Settling into tree poses in variation helps add to your core and plank strength, enhancing your degree of fitness from inside out. Following the pattern of a steady rise in action, comes a steady fall as well to bring you back to resting. Before wrapping, the final section lulls you back into a chilled state through relaxation and flexibility.

With peaks and rises embedded into the rhythm of the session, you are taken into a multi-layered experience that paces your activities in flexibility, mobility, and core strength with an engrossing soundtrack. Constantly weaving between yoga and pilates, alongside an ebbing and fluctuating musical accompaniment—you will never have a dull moment. Breathe and sweat to the emotive music, and feel movement throughout your entire body.
