It’s happening in Upminster! Two new classes to kick us off:

HOT INFRARED | AFB BARRE

* Mondays 7.30pm · from this Monday 12 October

* Wednesdays 5.30pm · from 21 October

Dynamic · Precise · Energising

Our signature AFB Barre, turned up a few degrees.

Expect tiny, targeted movements, plenty of props and that unmistakable barre burn, all with the added intensity of infrared heat. You’ll pulse, shake, sweat and work your whole body, leaving feeling seriously strong.

Strong. Controlled. Spicy. Very satisfying.

Only 8 spots per class whilst we launch. Find out more and save your spot:

Meet Kaja 🤎

If you’ve been in one of Kaja’s classes, you’ll know she brings a LOT of lovely energy with her.

Warm, welcoming, encouraging and always up for a challenge, she has that knack of making people feel comfortable from the minute they walk through the door.

She’s also a very keen runner, so when she isn’t teaching at AFB, there’s a good chance she’s clocking up the miles somewhere 🏃‍♀️

Join her for AFB Dynamic Flow on Sundays 10.15am.

And on that note… keep your eyes peeled.

There may be a little AFB Run Club brewing 👀🤎

GOT A NIGGLE? COME AND GET IT CHECKED 🤎

I’ve had a bit of a niggle myself recently, and the lovely team at Injury Active Clinic have been helping me with it, so I asked if they’d come into AFB and offer some free advice to our community too.

They’ll be popping up at our Saffron Walden studio on Friday 9 October, 1–2pm.

Got an ache, pain or injury that’s been hanging around? Or something that just doesn’t feel quite right?

Pop in, have a chat and get some expert advice. It’s completely FREE and there’s no need to book, just drop by anytime between 1–2pm.

🤎 AFB MEMBER TREAT

📍 A Fine Balance, Saffron Walden
📅 Friday 9 October

MEET OUR AWESOME TEACHERS 🤎 First up:

Vinyasa + Pregnancy Yoga teacher. Nervous system enthusiast. Mum. Saffron Walden legend. And unofficial AFB Blanket Police. 👀

There is A LOT of love for Candace at AFB. Her classes are down-to-earth, fun and supportive. Come as you are, move, breathe, have a laugh and leave feeling better than when you walked in.

She’s funny, warm and wise with it. The other day she reminded me about letting go of the need for the perfection we create in our own minds which ultimately causes us suffering.

She’s trained in Pregnancy Yoga too, and we recently had the loveliest feedback from one of our pregnant mamas about just how supported and cared for Candace made her feel in class. 🤎

She will be joining our 2027 AFB Yoga Teacher Training as a Guest Teacher, sharing her knowledge around the nervous system, choice, consent and creating supportive spaces.

And supportive spaces brings us neatly to… THE BLANKETS.

Candace looks after AFB like it’s her own home (thank you 🫶). Props put away, studio cared for, blankets folded properly. PROPERLY. 😂

Saucha, one of yoga’s Niyamas, is often translated as cleanliness or purity. That sense of caring for ourselves, each other and the spaces we share is something Candace genuinely lives, and something we really champion at AFB.

So yes, let go of perfection.

Just not when you’re folding Candace’s blankets. 👀

Find Candace at AFB Saffron Walden:

🤎 Tuesday 6:45pm · AFB Flow
🤎 Wednesday 6:00pm · AFB Flow

Come and find out what all the Candace love is about.
