OmHIIT Yoga 

Yin meets Yang in this yoga class serving a distinct mix of OM and HIIT.  Flowing yoga sequences designed to promote strength, length, and flexibility are interlaced with high intensity interval segments to deliver a singular mind-body experience.  Here’s your ticket to become a powerhouse on the mat! 

Why Try OmHIIT? 

Need the flexibility and strength of yoga with dynamic bursts of high-intensity athletic drills?  Shake up your yoga routine or add a little mobility and flexibility training into your athletic training with this unique workout, available only at Crunch! 

What Is Om HIIT? 

In this 30-minute Crunch format, build sustained energy through short 3-minute creative yoga sequences, then shift intensity for a 30-second burst of HIIT!  OmHIIT plays with dynamic intensity shifts in the hard and the soft for a completely energizing practice. 

Who is OmHIIT Best For? 

Whether you’re an experienced yoga practitioner or you’ve never taken a yoga class before, OmHIIT is right for you!  You’ll work short sequences of 3-4 postures to build mobility, flexibility, and strength, then shake it up with a 30-60 second burst of athletic HIIT movements.  Instructors will be sure to give options that will keep you feeling challenged and successful. 

Om HIIT gives participants a fun, low-risk opportunity to try a new exercise modality, blending the athleticism of HIIT and the zen of vinyasa flow yoga.  

• Non-intimidating format. Participants who might otherwise shy away from yoga practice may be more open to an athletic recovery-based format.  Likewise, dedicated yogis can experience the exhilaration of a HIIT burst within the structure of a yoga practice.  
• Fast-paced and playful.  The shift in energy throughout class can be a challenging way for participants to practice breath control when transitioning from a HIIT burst to a new sequence. 

Is OMHIIT a Good Workout? 

Om HIIT combines the best of all training modalities: cardiovascular, strength, flexibility, and mobility! 

• HIIT Training Benefits. HIIT training has some of the quickest fitness results of all training styles. The built-in recovery allows athletes to attack repeated work segments with the same or higher intensity each time. This leads to increased fat burning and lowers insulin resistance.  
• Flexibility and mobility. Yoga-based flow sequences encourage greater range of motion by connecting movements together. Moving from Downward-Facing Dog to a lunge, for example, encourages hip mobility and a lengthening of the hip flexors. 

How Difficult is Om HIIT? 

6/10. Think of Om HIIT as an energetic yoga workout that’s simple to follow, manageable and fiercely fun!  OmHIIT has blocks of work with 3 minutes of flow, followed by a 30-second to 1-minute HIIT athletic drills to get your heart pumping before settling back into a new vinyasa flow. 

How Long Is Each Class? 

This 30-minute format should feel a little like a gentle roller-coaster ride: easy with some energizing bursts along the way.  You’ll begin with a 3-minute warm up, then transition into 6 blocks of flow/HIIT, then come back down to earth with a 3-minute cooldown composed of longer-held stretches and relaxation.  

What Should I Wear? 

Wear Appropriate Clothing. Nothing is more distracting than a wardrobe malfunction. Typically, people wear fitted clothing that will stay put, even in Downward-Facing Dog. In short, cover your business. 

Leave Your Shoes Off. Not only does being barefoot help with your stability, but your overall balance and foot strength will improve as a result of working without shoes or socks on. 

What Do I Need to Bring? 

For OmHIIT, plan to bring your own yoga mat. A yoga mat is a thin, sticky mat that will allow you to protect your joints without slipping around when you’re in an awkward position.  You’ll be getting pretty up-close and personal to the floor, so having your own yoga mat for OmHIIT  and other Crunch yoga classes will keep you feeling so fresh and so clean!
