IN-STUDIO CLASSES

Welcome back to in-studio classes in our Fit Journey studio at 396 Pacific Avenue, Suite 205! It’s a bright, open and calm space, and we’re happy to see you back in person!

All In-Studio classes will be run as ‘pre-registered series’, there will be no drop-ins.

Following the Ontario government’s guidelines and just plain common sense, we’ll have the following protocols in place:

Daily sanitization of floors, all touch surfaces and equipment.
Wear your mask as you enter and depart. You may choose to keep your mask on once you’re in your designated spot.
Do not come to class if you’re experiencing any signs or symptoms of Covid-19, or if you’re feeling ill and contagious in other ways.
Stay in your designated spot for the full class. If you need to use the washroom down the hall, stay 6′ away from other participants as you move through the room, and of course, wear your mask.

Welcome back!

Hatha Yoga is accessible to one and all, and is the basis of all our yoga practices, including Yoga for Runners, Gentle Yoga and Yoga for Stiff Bodies.

RELEASE TENSION: MOVE WITH EASE: FIND YOUR CENTER

Some say they can’t practice yoga because they aren’t flexible. Hmm, that’s a little like saying you don’t need a shower because you’re dirty!

Come to yoga with a willing heart, patience, diligence and your sense of humour!

If you have a chronically tight body, or are recovering from an injury, or are dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety . . . this practice is for you. This yoga practice takes you from exactly where you are. Wear comfortable clothes and come with a Beginners Mind.

You’ll quickly find ease and balance in your mobility.

Yoga includes many tools, including breathing well, managing the mind, working with the physical body to cue the other bodies (mental, emotional, spiritual) to become more flexible as well! Please bring your own props: yoga mat, yoga belt, yoga block.

YOGA CAN PUT THE SPRINT BACK IN YOUR RUN!

No matter where you are in the training cycle (runners, cyclists, tennis, hockey . . .), incorporating yoga will help! Special focus on releasing tight hips, lengthening sore hamstrings/calves/lower back; strengthening stabilizers and core; balancing differences from side to side. Work mindfully to release your tight bits, expect to sweat a bit and give yourself the gift of Savasana (integrated rest) at the end! Considered by many endurance athletes to be injury prevention & cross training combined.

Some call this dessert! Delicious Yin & Restore

Combine the quiet yet powerful practice of Yin Yoga with the healing, relaxing practice of Restorative Yoga for a delicious, centering result.

Thai Yoga massage techniques from Denise further open the energy lines to encourage release and healing. This practice is especially beneficial for those with tight muscles and joints, or who are experiencing anxiety or fatigue, or who simply need to step away from the intensity of life.

Vinyasa Flow

Niki Ainslie

intensity and recovery Wed 7:15 - 8:15 pm

Vinyasa Flow creates harmony with your body, your breath, and your mind.

Vinyasa Flow is a style of practice whereby there are fluid transitions between postures with a conscious use of the inhale, and the exhale.
When we synchronize our breathing with our body’s movement patterns, it cues many of our internal systems to come into balance as well, including the busy system of the mind.

This is a Level II Hatha practice, which will safely challenge your mobility, stability, strength and flexibility. Various pranayama (breathing practices) will be incorporated. A satisfying practice to clear the cobwebs, build heat to purify, and we’ll finish with a lovely supported Savasana.

You’ll leave the practice feeling relaxed, refreshed and strong in your body and mind.
