Instructor: Amy Dalton, of Boulder, who is a certified Lagree Fitness instructor and also a certified yoga instructor at CorePower. She created Mega Yoga Flow and launched it this month.

What is the workout? A combination of Vinyasa yoga on the M3 Megaformer machine with Lagree Fitness exercises.

Lagree Fitness is considered "Pilates on crack," because it also trains core, balance, flexibility, strength and endurance on machines that resemble Pilates Reformer machines except they are bigger, with more springs (which allows for more weight), with a back platform and an assortment of different moves.

This new class adds a simple and slow yoga flow into the Megaformer training.

Classes typically warm up with yoga, then move into Lagree Method and then wind down the body with yoga.

What's different? Boco Fit is the only studio in Boulder County to offer Lagree Fitness on the Megaformer and the only studio in the world offering Mega Yoga Flow. Yet. The studio expects other studios to pick it up quickly, and Dalton wants to teach it to other Lagree instructors with yoga backgrounds.

"Yoga helps bring greater awareness to Lagree, by breathing, focusing on staying in the moment," Dalton says. "One of my desires is to help people find real, deep awareness in their bodies, regardless of what they're doing, whether that's training hard physically or walking down the street. There is a subtle shift when you start slowing down and working with the breath more."

Cost: $15 for first-time clients.
