![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So, you’ve made the decision to come along and try your first DDPY class…GREAT! Before anyone comes along to class, they often have some questions or concerns that they’d like me to address beforehand.DDP YOGA NOW! Is the very first, “Interactive Transformation Tool” that can transform your body and your life without the impact on your joints like other fitness programs. To make it easier for you, this blog is a compilation of the most frequently asked questions related to what you should expect from your first class. The best way to think about DDPY is that it is a high energy, low impact fitness system inspired by yoga. It would be wrong to think of DDPY strictly as a form of yoga, because it’s not, but it is heavily influenced by the concept of traditional yoga. If you have practiced power yoga or even ashtanga, you may recognise large elements of these systems in DDPY.Īll fitness classes should follow the structure of warm-up – workout – cool-down, and DDPY is no different. ![]() My sessions start gently (which may resemble more traditional yoga) with a focus on mobility and muscle recruitment. The intense ‘body’ of the workout will generally focus on strength, flexibility, balance, power and elevating the heart rate to develop cardiovascular endurance. Towards the end of the session, we often wrap up with some core-specific strengthening exercises and a cool-down, to safely decrease heart rate and give the body the best chance of recovering quickly before the next workout.Ĭheck out my blog comparing DDP Yoga and Yoga here! Is it suitable for beginners?Ībsolutely! Everyone’s a beginner the first time they try something new, aren’t they?! One of the amazing things about DDPY is its ability to meet you at your current level of fitness, then quickly build it with regular practice. I take great pride in ensuring absolutely everyone gets the absolute most from every class I deliver – from the complete beginner to the seasoned veteran.Įvery exercise or manoeuvre in DDPY classes can be modified to suit you, and I highly encourage everyone to start with these mods until a suitable level of strength/flexibility/balance is built, which will allow you to challenge yourself safely. I would rather you performed a modification perfectly than tried a more challenging method with poor form, which could lead to an injury. The bottom line is these workouts are suitable for everyone and you should never be afraid or embarrassed to modify in order to get the most from them. ![]()
