Strength, Balance & Mobility for Longevity

Pre-registered session: $128
This class is great for beginners!
"Growing older is inevitable. Aging is optional."
As we age, it is crucial to stay moving and to learn healthy movement patterns to support and maintain our body for many years to come.
In this class, you will learn specific exercises that will help support your longevity, joint health and keep you strong and moving fluidly! You will learn movement that stimulates the nutrition needed to lubricate joint surfaces and exercises that can create ease in your movement and decrease soreness and pain. We will work with proprioceptors to help improve balance to prevent falls (and if you do fall, to learn ways to get up off the floor on your own).
We will also include a few weight training exercises each class. 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 it is important to maintain it with added resistance.
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 class for different exercises and can be used any time for those with mobility restrictions.

Yoga for Strength & Core with Janelle
Thursdays @ 5:15pm
Pre-registered session: $128
This fun and challenging class gives you a full body experience with yoga poses that build strength, improve balance and cardiovascular health. There will be more core exercises included throughout the practice & class is finished off with some active stretching & relaxation.

Restorative/Yin Yoga with Janelle
Thursdays @ 6:30pm
Pre-registered session: $128
Delve into a blissful class as you move into deeper muscle and connective tissue tension with some yin poses. You will then settle into restorative poses to help decrease stress on your body and mind. Deep healing comes from allowing the body to completely relax. Restorative Yoga allows the body to fully rest and reset the nervous system. The supportive use of props helps to elicit a relaxation response in the body and the mind. This practice benefits all of the muscles and organs in the body through a process of repair and rejuvenation. It also aids in mental health, is supportive to the immune system, regulates metabolism and helps with insomnia. No experience is required and everyone is welcome! 

Yoga for Strength with Janelle 
Fridays & Saturdays @ 9:30am
Pre-registered session: $128
This fun and challenging class gives you a full body experience with yoga poses that build strength and stability, improve balance and cardiovascular health. Class is finished off with core strengthening, stretching & relaxation. 

Restorative/Yin Aroma Yoga with Janelle
Saturdays @ 10:45am
Pre-registered session: $128
The intention of this class is to provide a safe space for students to let go of tension and cultivate peace in their body and mind. There will be some gentle movement before settling into poses. In poses, the body will be fully supported by props to allow the nervous system to thoroughly unwind and the body to fully relax. 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 chronic stress or “fight or flight”. 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, restore & heal.

Investment $35 for both classes. 
Drop in for one: $20
Please pre-register as space is limited! 

SATTVA All Levels: SATTVA yoga is for the whole person -- body, breath and mind. The asana sequences are well-rounded, vigorous vinyasa-based classes that address the body systematically, moving through monthly cycles of Front, Back, Side and Central Strength perspectives on the body, as well as their correlating energetic and mental experiences. We will focus specifically on the Side Body lines for the month of March, developing sensitivity, clarity and concentration as we do so. Pranayama and meditation practices will be included at the end of the practice.

Nidra and Sound: Prepare for deep relaxation and insight to arise, as the ancient technologies of yogic sleeping (nidra) and sound (nada) are artfully combined. Sound artist Kevin Gaudet will guide you into a receptive state both verbally and through the use of his three wind gongs, wherein the body and mind can rest, heal and integrate. The mind will be sweetly and compassionately overwhelmed by the power of sound and vibration, allowing you to experience your inner environment in new and profound ways.

Hip and Knee Rescue Workshop with Denise

There are very few things that will impact your future life more than your ability to walk.

Your legs are meant to last your whole lifetime which is about 100 years!

So why do so many people complain of hip and knee issues? 

What are we doing that causes us to end up in so much trouble?

Join us to learn the answer to those questions, how to undo damage that has already been done and how to improve the way your hips and knees function right now. If you have had a hip or knee replacement, this workshop will offer tools to maintain what you have and may assist in preventing another replacement.

It is important to be excited to move, excited to practice yoga or play golf or go hiking. We want movement to feel great so we can continue this grand adventure called life!

The process for hip degeneration starts very quietly and carries on unnoticed until it becomes serious. Sometimes at that point all that can be done is surgery which can have many drawbacks and few guarantees.   

Allow me to help you understand and support your knees and hips so everything you do makes them stronger and better. 

In this 3 hour workshop we will learn and practice:

- Myo-fascial techniques with balls to get the tissues around your hips/knees/feet feeling better right away

- A set of exercises (you can do anywhere!) using therapy bands to strengthen your legs and improve their function

- How to align and activate your feet to your hips in your yoga practice so you can use your practice to keep your legs strong and healthy going forward

- Learn the best methods for maintaining mobility (flexibility) in your hips (Pssst! It’s NOT stretching!)

- Learn what joints need to remain healthy and juicy and what they really DON’T need

This is a multifaceted approach to caring for your major joints that really works! 

It can be your "go to" strategy anytime and anywhere. You will need very little equipment - you can keep it in your pocket! And you will see a noticeable improvement within the first two weeks of consistent practice! 

For less than the cost of one massage session, you will have the knowledge and tools to keep your hips happy, healthy and whole.

Workshop base fee:

$85 + GST

Tools provided by Denise - included in workshop fee:

2 Exerband loops
 

Additional equipment for purchase from Denise (GST included):

1 small Yoga Tune-up Ball - $10

1 large (Alpha) ball - $20

(Please pay by e-transfer to fordjanelle@hotmail.com or at the studio by cash or cheque. If you wish to buy additional equipment please let me know and I will inform Denise to bring it for you and you can pay her at the workshop)
