When I set out to try the first-ever “aura reading fitness class,” I wasn’t sure what to expect. Would my energy reveal that I should stop skipping leg day? Would I finally find out if I had Pilates princess vibes? My curiosity was at an all-time high. The unique fitness class – dubbed “202Vibe” by UK-based fitness center Gymbox – is designed like a short circuit. Participants rotate through three stations every 15 minutes: breathwork, guided meditation, and aura reading. But can a program like this really help inform your fitness routine?
According to personal trainer Jess Parkinson, it just might. Aura reading, she says, can help people get a better sense of their emotional state, along with any blockages or areas of imbalance. “This helps with fitness as it helps people become more aware of their mental and emotional health and helps them to approach their workouts with a clearer, more focused mindset,” she explains. “People can adjust their training or self-care approach to their energy accordingly.”
