WHO IS BRUNA FRANÇA
What is croxlates?
My name is Bruna, and I graduated in Physical Education from a university in Brazil. I specialize in Gerontology and Functional Voluntary Motor Skills, with years of experience helping people overcome physical limitations and improve their quality of life.
During my recovery after injuring myself in a rugby game and being forced to stop moving for a long period, dealing with my confused mind and discovering my anxiety, I had to learn to find a way out.
Living alone in Abu Dhabi, I managed my physical and emotional pain and began to create my own way of moving, both during and after my recovery. It was from this principle and my experience that CroXlates was developed.
Along with the exercises, I also developed, studied, and applied other methods, because nothing has only one problem and nothing has only one solution. I am also the creator of a method that helps women lose weight by overcoming silent diseases (that settle in the mind) and daily life, and another method that helps people break free from the cycle of chronic stress and and finally be able to live life.
CroXLates is, a unique method designed to unlock physical and mental potential without complicated movements. To help you reconnect with your body, restore your energy, and exit the cycle of chronic stress through conscious movement and nervous system awareness. "I wake up" your brain for life in motion. CroXlates was born out of my need and was influenced by my years of experience and knowledge in Pilates, Functional Training, ballet, and my life in sports.
What does sports have to do with this class, Bru? It has to do with my experience; when we practice sports, we have to take precautions against injury, and if we get hurt, we have to be strong to have a quick recovery.
CroXlates is complete approach that aligns body, mind, and energy so you can move better, feel stronger, and live lighter.
"CroXlates' motto is "NO PAIN, MORE GAIN," because life is a game that often hurts us, but we keep living, and living without pain brings more pleasure. Understand that pain is inevitable; living in it and with it is optional. Bru França

Is CroXLates® suitable for all fitness levels?
Yes. CroXLates® is suitable for all levels — from complete beginners to athletes.
The method wasn’t designed for performance or intensity, but for movement intelligence.
Even if you feel stiff, low-energy, out of shape, or lacking coordination, you can start safely.
CroXLates® is not CrossFit or high-impact training.
The “CroX” in CroXLates means crossed movement — a mix of mobility, rhythm, coordination and controlled strength that blends multiple movement nuances into one method.
Every session adapts to your current ability and helps your body gain freedom, control and fluidity without pressure.
What exactly is the CroXLates® Method?
CroXLates® is a neuro-movement method that blends mobility, coordination, rhythm and breath to help your body release tension, move without pain, and rebuild mind–body connection.
It’s not Pilates, not Yoga, not HIIT, it’s a smarter way to move. It incorporates movements based on the Pilates method, yoga, functional training, and breathing techniques, but CroXLates is a method with its own unique character.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.
