What’s New In The Wellness World This Month
Bulldog Online Yoga
If the mind-clearing, strength-building aspects of yoga appeal, but the chanting, oms and incense less so, then Bulldog Online Yoga is for you. The latest fitness trend from the US (Gwyneth is reportedly a fan), this is yoga for non-yogis, offering a ‘couch to 5k’ model equivalent. Unlike traditional yoga, expect dynamic and varied classes with upbeat playlists. Plus, all classes are live, offering a fully immersive experience. Making yoga approachable and accessible, Bulldog is unlike anything you’ve tried before.
