Healthy Movement Class: Improve Mobility & Joint Health with Jasmin

9 week session special: $142
"Growing older is inevitable. Aging is optional."
This is a great class for those are newer or who are just getting back to a regular exercise program after the summer!
As we age, it is crucial to stay moving and to learn functional/healthy movement so our movement patterns support our body, do not wear out our joints and support our activities of daily living. In this class you will build stability and strength in your muscles and joints to protect you from injury. You will learn exercises that can create ease in your movement and decrease soreness and pain. Chairs are also used as tools if needed for specific exercises.

Tea Time & Guided Mindfulness Session for Stress Relief with Jasmin
Wednesdays @ 10:45am
Pre-registered & drop in
Drop in: $10
9 week session special: $81
Enjoy some complimentary tea (and dark chocolate!) and settle into comfort as you are guided through a mindfulness session to decrease stress on your body and mind.
Current research has shown that meditation/mindfulness increases grey matter in the brain which can decrease our chances of developing cognitive issues like Alzheimers or dementia. Research has also shown that it lengthens telomeres (these represent longevity in the body).
Meditation can effect longevity of the physical body in a few different ways, starting at the cellular level. The longer a telomere, the more times a cell can divide and refresh. This increases its lifespan and slows down the natural aging process. Our bodies are also not equipped to endure long term stress. Mindfulness helps to shift the body's nervous system from fight or flight into rest and digest mode, where the body can do its deepest healing.

WEDNESDAY CLASS COMBO SPECIAL! Take both classes and receive a discount! Special price for both classes for 9 weeks is: $207 (a savings of $16!)

This is an extremely healing practice.Yoga Nidra has been referred to as sleep yoga and it has been said that 30 minutes of it is equivalent to 4 hours of sleep.

We have extra props for you to use but you are welcome to bring your own blanket, eye pillow and whatever else you need for support.

Movement & Mobility for Longevity with Janelle (no class Sept 20)
Fridays @ 11am
Pre-registered & drop in.
8 week session special: $126
In this class, you will learn specific movement that will help support your longevity, joint health and keep you moving fluidly! As we age, fluids can dry out a bit and particular types of movements can help retain more hydration in the joints. Certain movement stimulates the nutrition needed to lubricate joint surfaces.

You will learn how to lift weights correctly for specific muscle groups supporting bone density and lean body mass. There is research that shows we lose 1 pound of lean body mass after the age of 35 so we have to work at keeping it! 

We will then decrease muscle tension and help increase healthy range of motion by learning to use therapy balls. You will learn different exercises for specific muscle groups with the therapy balls which you can take home with you and use any time you need! Chairs are also used throughout the practice for different exercises. This class is also great for beginners!

No class Sept 14 
Sept 28 class will run at 11:30am
No class Oct 19
All other Saturday classes run at the normal 10:45am class time.

The intention of this class is to provide a safe space for students to let go of tension and cultivate peace and balance. Poses will be held between 3-5minutes, and the body will be supported by props to allow the nervous system to thoroughly unwind. There will be use of essential oils that are specifically chosen for their calming, grounding & stress-relieving properties. The human body was not designed to handle being in a state of fight or flight constantly. In order to help the body and mind optimally deal with the challenges of daily life, it is crucial that we cultivate stillness and silence to switch into the parasympathetic nervous system which can give your body and mind time to rest and the space to unwind and relax.

SATURDAY CLASS COMBO SPECIAL: Drop in is $30 for both classes or buy the whole 9 week session:$270!
