Each coloured symbol of the Yin Yang Yuan represents a feeling. Each symbol can only be: Positive, Negative or Indifferent at any one time, so if your feeling Positive the other two can only be Negative or Indifferent. During a class at some stage you are going to fit into one of these categories.
The aim of all fitness levels and abilities working together as one is to pull each other along and give support when needed. At some stage whether you’re a Blue, Red, Yellow or an Elite Black your going to have to give support to others, need support yourself or just be focused on your own efforts. It’s about everyone merging together as one and getting the most out of the session as possible both as an individual and as part of a Team.

Philosophy, Principles and Ethos of Outdoor Fitness
Our philosophy of exercise is based around core strength and then encompassing the following principles.
Definition of core strength: (The God Core)
The balanced development of the deep and superficial muscles that stabilize, align, and move the trunk of the body, especially the abdominals and muscles of the back. Also known as core stability.
Example: Core strength goes beyond the surface muscles and asks us to utilize our deep internal muscles to maintain stability in motion.
