Cross Train Women

with Sandy Thursday, 12noon

Build your strength with like-minded women

Whether you’re coming to fitness to cross-train for a specific sport (like running, cycling, tennis, soccer, weight lifting, swimming or other) or training to balance out your days of sitting at a desk, this is for you!

Build your strength with like-minded women

In this hour-long class, you’ll have an appropriate warmup, about 40 minutes of exercise and 15 – 20 minutes of flexibility training to begin the recovery process. We work with free weights, bands, body weight, sometimes using a strap, a chair or the wall. You’ll find each session takes a different approach, whether mini-circuits, super sets, HIIT (such as tabata or other timing protocols), giant sets and more! Not only will this build your strength, spike your metabolism (= burning fat longer), and give you energy: it also helps to prevent osteoporosis (degeneration of bone density) which affects 1 in 4 Canadian women.

YOGA & MEDITATION

Hatha Level I/II

with Sandy
Tuesday, 9:00am

Create Strength, Balance and Grounding

Wonderful for those new to the mat, and for experienced yogi’s as we come with a Beginner’s Mind!

Hatha yoga is the ‘original’ yoga practice from which many other styles have expanded. It’s the fundamental postures (asana) co-ordinated with the breath in a flowing manner, as well as mindful breath practices (pranayama), mindfulness, and meditation. Level I incorporates lying, seated and standing postures, including balance. Level II layers on more advanced versions of these postures, including back extensions, arm balances and inversions.

Each practice has a specific theme, usually with a benchmark posture and pranayama to bookend the experience. Props: yoga mat, yoga belt, 2 yoga blocks, blanket, and a quiet space to practice.

Cost: Livestream Class Pass

This is my neighbourhood oasis! I know I’ll be challenged and stretched (more than just physically), and feel wonderful every time. It feels like each practice is just for me!” Robyn

Yin/Restorative Yoga

with Denise Tuesday, 7:30pm

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. Yin poses focus on the connective tissues and muscles of the legs, hips, back, chest & shoulders. Restorative poses are fully supported with soft props. Denise gently guides you to 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. Cost: Livestream Class Pass

This is dessert for me! After caring for everyone else in my day, I can come and attend to my needs, love the deep holds of Yin and crave the wonderful relaxation of Restorative.” Leslie

Yoga for Stiff Bodies

with Sandy
Wednesdays, 7:15 – 8:15pm

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.
