YAZ MOHAMED

Yaz has been a professional fitness instructor in London for four years. Whether it’s a dance cardio class, a lengthening and sculpting Barre class or a strength-building fitness class, Yaz is experienced in multidisciplinary workouts.​

The venue

SOUL HOUSE

This spacious open plan Sri Lankan villa is the perfect place to relax into tropical tranquility.

Expect to lounge by the pool, practise in the outdoor shala and get a revitalising dose of Sri Lankan sunshine.

Rooms are available for one, two, or three guests and you can extend your stay for additional nights if you wish.

You’ll spend six nights at Soul House, a beautiful retreat centre in Ahangama on the south coast of Sri Lanka.

The programme

You’ll have two sessions a day with Yaz: one Barre and one Pilates. One day will have just one class to give you some free time to relax or take a day trip. 

BARRE & PILATES

 

Expect to be challenged in Yaz’s classes, and discover muscles you never knew you had — all while moving to an absolute banging playlist!​ Each class will be 45 minutes and give a full body workout. Classes are for all levels with modifications and progressions always given. 

 

BARRE: This is a low impact class designed to strengthen and tone muscles. We move at a slower pace, focusing on core strength and stability. This is a great class for anyone living with long/short term injuries and also pre- and post-natal.​

 

PILATES: Pilates offers a holistic approach to fitness by improving core strength, flexibility, posture and overall body awareness. Yaz's Pilates classes continuously flow, so the body is always stimulated. Expect to feel challenged particularly in core and balance exercises and expect to feel revived and stronger.

Yaz had put so much effort into the different classes. They were well thought through and had a good amount of variety. The music was also so good!
