Squash will have you sweating, panting and give you an absolutely intense workout. And the best part is you are so focused on the ball and beating your opponent, you hardly even notice the immense workout you are getting until it is all said and done. Perfect.

Turn up the heat on your workout. All rooms at Sweat and Soul Yoga are heated to 85 degrees. The practice is meant to help detoxify your body and open up your pores… but you know this means you will sweat you’re a** off. It is the best of yoga mixed with the heart raising benefits of aerobics. Just make sure you have time to hit the showers after your session if you have a hot date lined up after words. A detox session can be less than flattering to one's sense of smell.
