The benefits of ballet yoga workouts are numerous, but the most important benefit is that it will strengthen your muscles in the lower back, legs and stomach. When I first began practicing ballet, my hamstrings were especially sore from all of the running I did. After a few months of ballet classes, I noticed that my hamstrings no longer felt that way. Now I only have to run to work my hamstrings when I am lifting. It’s a great way to get a more toned lower back and build strength throughout the entire body.
One of the greatest ballet exercises that I have found is the mountain climber. This particular exercise helps to build strength in the front and side shoulders as well as the shoulders, upper back, and neck. Many people also like to do the thumb to floor combination where you reach out with both hands and grab your toes. You should alternate hands and feet throughout this exercise to work all of the muscles in your body.
If you find that you are not reaching overhead, or can not keep your head straight, you should perform the rope pose. To perform the rope pose, simply stand with your feet hip distance apart and cross your legs and place your hands on the floor a few inches away from your feet. Keep your arms straight and slowly bend at the elbow joint to reach over to your right leg and then your left leg. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat for each leg. These ballet yoga workout moves exercises not only build strength in your legs, but they will also tone your abdominals. If you would like to increase your flexibility while toning your muscle, this is one exercise that you should incorporate into your weekly yoga routine.
