Aqua-Gym

Aqua-gym consists of the performance of aerobic exercises in water, and is very effective in terms of activating blood flow and improving musculature, breathing and flexibility, as well as increasing levels of relaxation.

Tai Chi

Various establishments in the archipelago also invite us to get closer to the world of tai chi, an ancient Chinese martial art with proven benefits for mental and physical health. Relaxed, harmonious movements, combined with special breathing and mental concentration techniques, are recommended in this discipline designed to achieve complete well-being.

Pilates

And what can we say about Pilates, which is also available in Canarian hotels? This method provides one of the best systems of physical and mental training, as it involves the use of the mind to control the body, while always trying to attain a balanced harmony and unity between both. Millions of people throughout the world benefit nowadays from the effects of this method, created at the beginning of the 20th century by the German Joseph Hubertus Pilates, who developed the technique based on his knowledge of a variety of specializations such as gym, orthopedic surgery, ballet or yoga. He combined dynamism and muscular strength with mental control, breathing and relaxation.
