My Les Mills Experience at Solinca Lagoas | Body Balance

⭐️ MY LES MILLS EXPERIENCE AT SOLINCA LAGOAS | BODY BALANCE

Today was my BRUCE LEE TRAINING DAY! SOLINCA LAGOAS is another gym that I absolutely ADORE!

While I was signing up at the machine, I heard, “Hello, Su!” I turned around and saw him — ANDRÉ GODINHO! All smiles, as usual, on his way to class. It felt so good to see him again! Nice people have a magical way of making us feel good with just a smile and a hello. 🙌🏾

Once I entered the studio, I went straight to my favorite spot — the FIRST ROW! 😁

The warm-up was yoga, and it was absolutely beautiful. 👌🏾

Next came the Sun Salutations, and this track showed me that I am STILL in VERY GOOD SHAPE for Body Balance. I managed to do most of it properly — I think! 😁

The Warriors track was fantastic. Nice new movements!

Then came the special one: BALANCE! I was a bit nervous at first because it has been a while 😅, and this track is challenging. BUT ☝🏾 I positively surprised myself! I loved the Half Lotus Tree pose, and when it was time to extend the tree arms, I did a good job! My right side was quick and easy 😃, and while the left side took a bit longer, I still managed it. 👌🏾

The hip openers were amazing — especially because we attempted the split. This is something I’m determined to achieve VERY SOON. 💪🏾

The twists felt SO good — except during the Spiral Twist pose: everything went fine to the left, but when I turned to the right, my neck yelled: “Are you crazy, girl? EASY!” 😅 At that moment, I knew that Body Combat would be a NO NO today! 😁

After flexibility, came Relaxation. And OMG, how I missed André’s meditations. We started by lying down as André guided us through relaxation, starting with the shoulders, then we immersed in the vision, and finally we felt the connection with the earth through our bare feet. From then on, we were ready to receive his message: “embrace your true self.” Just PERFECTION! 🙌🏾

I always enjoy André’s choice of poses and exercises, the smoothness of his voice during the class, and the incredible meditations he ALWAYS gifts us.

BODY BALANCE IS MY FAVORITE LES MILLS CLASS and it was pure magic to restart it in 2025 with the GREAT André Godinho. 🙌🏾
