The Intention Behind Every Move: Inside the Curvora Class Flow

Every part of class is intentional — from the first isolation to the final stretch.

Curvora isn’t a random playlist of movements. It’s a method. Everything you experience in class — the warm-up, the sweat, the shakes, the stillness — has a purpose.

This isn’t just about creating a good workout. It’s about how we activate, engage, and strengthen your body in a way that feels intuitive, powerful, and sustainable. As the creator of Curvora, I chose this class flow based on what your body actually needs to move better, feel better, and build long-term strength.

Let me take you through the structure — and why it’s built this way.

Phase 1: Body Isolations (Warm-Up)

We always begin with upper and lower body isolations — not just to "warm up," but to bring awareness into the muscles we’re about to activate. This sets the tone for the entire class.

By isolating the chest, hips, core, and legs early on, we:

• Wake up stabilizing muscles

• Connect breath to movement

• Prepare the body for more complex, layered motion later in class

  
  

You might not be sweating yet, but your body is already starting to work — and most importantly, turn on.

Phase 2: The Curvora Burn

This is the middle of class — the moment everything clicks. Your body is warm, your muscles are engaged, and now we go deeper.

This is when your heart rate rises, your hips start moving, and you begin to feel the signature Curvora burn — where control meets rhythm.

Here’s what you’ll see:

• Core Curvora hip movements like figure 8s, rainbows, rotations, rocks, and snakes

• Bigger movements that apply those hips, such as crab walks, salsa, cha cha, and other Curvora progressions

  
  

This part of class is strategically designed to:

• Build cardiovascular endurance

• Engage the glutes, thighs, and core

• Burn fat while increasing strength

• Shape curves through controlled repetition

  
  

And here’s something that sets it apart — we stay low the entire time. That’s not just a style choice. It’s backed by science.

According to a study published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, maintaining a bent-knee position during movement increases muscle activation by up to 40%, especially in the glutes and thighs.(McCaw & Melrose, 1999)

That’s why you feel the burn. That’s why you wake up sore. That’s why your body responds.

Phase 3: Floor Series (Strength + Reset)

After the peak of class, we transition to the floor.

This phase isn’t about cardio — but it’s still about challenge. You’re not dripping sweat here, but you’re still activating and building. I chose this floor series specifically to keep tension in the lower body while allowing the heart rate to come down.

It’s a moment to strengthen without strain — to work from a grounded place.

Phase 4: Stretching Series (Mobility + Flexibility)

We always end class with what your body needs most: space.

In this final phase, we stretch dynamically and statically — focusing on everything we just worked: hips, thighs, glutes, and core. This isn’t an afterthought. This is recovery with purpose.

The goal is to:

• Improve hip mobility

• Reduce post-workout soreness

• Increase flexibility without forcing it

• Realign the body after all that grounded work

  
  

Curvora is about more than sweat — it’s about mobility, flexibility, and strength. That means we honor the end of class as much as the middle.

Why This Flow Works

This structure was created to honor your body, not exhaust it. It’s a flow that builds strength, shapes curves, increases endurance, and keeps your joints supported every step of the way.

Each section connects to the next. Each movement prepares you for the one after it.

You’re not just dancing. You’re sculpting. You’re strengthening. You’re moving with intention.

Final Word

I built Curvora this way on purpose — not just to challenge you, but to support you. From isolations to intensity, from strength to stretch, every phase of class is there to help you move better, feel stronger, and stay connected to your body.

This isn’t random. This is rhythm with a reason. And your body deserves that kind of thoughtfulness — every single time you show up.
