Understanding the WARRIOR Fitness Formats
Whether you want to get certified as an instructor or just want to find your rhythm, here is the lowdown on the formats that are changing how we move in India.
This video, featuring the creator of the formats, gives a fantastic overview of what makes WARRIOR Rhythm and Warrior Strength so unique. Rhythm is a cathartic, dance-like yoga flow, while Strength focuses on functional training to make you stronger for everyday life.
Here's a quick guide to the different WARRIOR formats I teach and certify. Whether you're drawn to the musical flow of Rhythm, the functional power of Strength, or the boxing-inspired energy of Combat, there's a path for you.
The creator of WARRIOR Strength, Ellen, explains the format in this video. It's functional training designed to make life better, with two distinct parts: a cardio HIIT section and a weightlifting section. You'll learn to teach this smart, safe, and effective program.
Hear from Ellen, the creator of WARRIOR Rhythm, as she describes the format. It's a fitness fusion that we call a "rebel yoga flow," weaving together mindfulness, HIIT, and weightlifting into an edgy and original experience.

About this collection
The core difference lies in the intent of your movement. Warrior Rhythm is a rebel yoga flow where mindfulness meets music, creating a cathartic, dance-like experience, while Warrior Strength is purely functional training designed to make everyday life easier through focused cardio and weightlifting blocks.
Warrior Rhythm: The Rebel Yoga Flow
This format is for anyone who finds traditional yoga a bit too static. We weave together HIIT, weightlifting, and traditional yoga flows into a musical experience. It is designed to be emotional and cathartic, helping you tap into your 'inner wild thing' while building balance, mobility, and strength. It is not about perfect poses; it is about moving with the beat and releasing stress.
Warrior Strength: Functional Power
If you want to feel powerful in your daily life, this is the format. It is split into two distinct parts: cardio-focused interval training and dedicated weightlifting sections. It is smart, safe, and designed to improve your coordination and endurance without the boredom of repetitive sets.
