“Yoga Booty Ballet is a fun, sexy and spirited workout that will leave you feeling refreshed and inspired. Work your body, engage your mind and lighten your spirit as you practice this East-meets-West amalgam of meditation, cardiovascular dance, ballet, Kundalini and hatha yoga.The results are immediate and long term. Students consistently complete class feeling better about themselves than when they arrive.

The meditation element serves to focus busy minds as well as awaken dull ones.  The dance portion improves cardiovascular endurance, promoting weight loss and improved body composition.  The ballet section increases strength and agility, building muscle and bone density. The yoga sections promote flexibility, balance and inner wellness.  Classes are fun and easy to follow, designed to draw out individual self-expression in a comfortable, non-competitive environment.Various dance styles explored include jazz, hip hop, burlesque, Latin, Bollywood, go-go, and more.

Come dance, play, and fall in love with your body!”

Hard as we try to paint with words, there’s still something missing.  It isn’t until you step into Courtney’s class that you feel the full expression of a Yoga Booty Ballet class — the beat of the just-right playlist, the laughs, the stretching, movement, smiles and fun.  So we got an idea: lets take some pictures and record a short video that we can put on YouTube so people can SEE, HEAR AND FEEL Yoga Booty Ballet!

Last weekend, Courtney (pictured below in the green scarf) brought her tremendous flair for music, fun and dance to a special weekend class and the ladies moved through mirror-slaps, flashes, and long, distracting lenses pointed right at them without missing a beat.  I’ll post all of the images and the video when we’re finished editing, but I wanted to share these final two shots with a big :hug: and thank you to all who participated!  :)

Brooke teaches at Namasté and 5 other locations in New Orleans.  She is the owner of YogaLagniappe.com and serves on a local alumnae board with me, which is how we originally met.

And I love my job.  :)
