FIT FLOW FUSION
#feedingthestarvingartistfromwithin
💃🏻I developed my signature class to share the love I have for physical and mental health. Fit Flow Fusion encompasses barre, Pilates, yoga and dance technique all wrapped into one fiery class.
💃🏻Synchronizing a fun and ‘let go’ approach of moving your body to sweet beats, Fit Flow Fusion encourages your inner dancer to bust a move!
This class integrates my extensive background in mental and physical health. Fused with multiple physical and therapeutic disciplines, Fit Flow strengthens physical and cognitive engagement, such as:
•Body Awareness
•Flexibility and Mobility
•Balance
•Coordination
•Memory
•Visuospatial processing
•Neural plasticity
•Emotional regulation
•Stress and endorphin release
🫶🏼My objectives are for you to🫶🏼
1. build a deeper relationship with your body
2. recognize physical and emotional sensations
3. increase self-confidence in self-care
And 4....have FUN, while getting an invigorating practice! Emphasis on fun!
Fun Fact:
“According to The Harvard Mahoney Neuroscience Institute, in a 2008 article in Scientific American magazine, a Columbia University neuroscientist posited that synchronizing music and movement—dance, essentially—constitutes a “pleasure double play.” Music stimulates the brain’s reward centers, while dance activates its sensory and motor circuits...improving brain health, memory and strengthening neuronal connections.”
TESTIMONIALS
“Hi Natalie! I love your energy and your class! I very much appreciate your outlining and sharing with me your intentions for the design of your class. And, I love the quote from Harvard Neuroscience department! It’s rare for instructors to give such an articulate and well thought out intentional outline and science backing to their classes--I love knowing Fit Flow Fusion is your original creation with such a substantial creative thought process behind it. You are truly a world class professional Dance Exercise Teacher! I have a background in Somatics, Athletics and Neuroscience and what you are doing makes so much sense and is so fun! You and your class are flipping awesome! I am so looking forward to your next class! YAY!”

“Two years ago, I was searching for a fun way to do cardio and get super fit! I love going to the gym, but doing cardio on a treadmill or stationary bike is repetitive and boring. Fit Flow Fusion is like cardio on steroids and the entire workout makes you feel like you are dancing at the hottest party on the planet! The continuous flow and movement along with the mix of barre, yoga, and Pilates makes this workout extremely challenging and always pushes me beyond my comfort zone. The best thing about Fit Flow Fusion is Natalie Makardish, her energy, smile, and philosophy on health and fitness are what make her unique and special. In a room full of fit people, Natalie stands out and when she is teaching class, she leads by example as she demonstrates and does the entire workout along with us. Her kindness, personality, experience, and education resonates throughout her class and leaves you feeling energized, powerful, and part of something greater than just getting fit! I highly recommend Fit Flow Fusion and Natalie Makardish for anyone that needs help realizing their true beauty and looking for a deeper connection with the body, mind, and soul.”

“My name is Diane and I just wanted to say a little about a great friend and terrific teacher! Natalie invented an awesome class called Fit Flow Fusion...a combination of Barre, Pilates and Yoga! From the minute I took her first class I knew I was hooked! She takes the entire class with you so you are never lost...how she does this while still talking us through it amazes me in itself and ALWAYS with a big beautiful smile on her face! She keeps it fresh by changing the routines and of course always some fun dancing mixed in...so very proud of all she has put into this class and continues to! She teaches yoga as well and her music selections are awesome. I got the chance to take her Hot Pilates class too at the studio recently and absolutely loved it! She adds her own spin to the class (adding a little Fit Flow flare!). Natalie’s energy is so awesome and she just makes you want to move!! Thanks for all your hard work and see you in the hot room!”
