Class Review: Figure 4 @ Pure Yoga West {instructor Carrie}

Class: Figure 4
Class Location: Pure Yoga West
Instructor: Carrie
Class Description: “Created by professional ballet dancer Kate Albarelli, Figure 4 combines elements of classic dance training, Pilates, yoga, and free weights. This combination is part of a high energy class that works the heart and the limbs in tandem for faster, more effective results, helping to create a long, toned and flexible body” (From the Pure Yoga website).
Reviewer: Nicole H.

Favorite things about the class:

• High energy
• Carrie was knowledgeable and helpful – she introduced herself to me since I was new
• Varied exercises keep it interesting

Least favorite things about the class:

1. Need to be a member of Pure Yoga with the Figure Four membership to take the class
2. There were some times where it was a little hard for a beginner – she gave a lot of advice on how to make something harder, but not how to adapt it for injuries etc.
3. The membership is too expensive, therefore I won’t be going back.

Overall class rating: 5 0ut of 5 stars

Additional Comments: The class uses a ballet bar, light and mid-weight dumbbells, mats, and cushions to give a cardio/yoga/dance etc. workout.   The class time is divided between working your quads, arms, abs and butt.
