Adult Classes

We are so excited to bring opportunities to our dance parents and adults in our community! Classes will range from Fitness to Yoga to Dance and are just for YOU!!!

Registration for our adult sessions is ongoing and we’re offering free trials for the first two weeks of April!

OUR YOGA CLASSES:

 

YOGA FOR BACKS

  • Wednesdays, 8:45-9:45am
  • Yoga for Backs is a practice that will help you relieve strain and tension in the body by using long holds in therapeutic postures. Once the body has released into the posture we integrate intelligent movement with the use of specific props to activate the proper muscles. This results in harmonizing deeply rooted preference patterns with proper movement to realign your spine and improve your over-all well being. This class is beneficial for everyone including beginners; if you have severe spinal conditions/injury please consult your doctor before joining the class.

GENTLE FLOW YOGA

  • Fridays, 9:00-10:15am
  • This Gentle Flow class focuses on core stability, balance, full body range of motion, and meditative presence through both dynamic and isometric poses. Slowing down the transitions and holding for a few extra breaths allows us to finesse our alignment and sink into the magic of the shape. Beginning with meditation and breath work, moving into a Hatha-based flow, and finishing with some longer held Yin and Restorative poses; this is a well-rounded class to build strength, increase flexibility, and promote calm.

Dance Fit (NEW for the Spring!)

Some class favourites are “Mambo No. 5”, “Moves Like Jagger” and “Believe” by Cher. This class is popular with the 50+ age group but suitable to all fitness levels.

Barre Fitness

  • Thursday evenings, 7:00-8:00pm
  • This 60min class is a fitness class but based on foundations of ballet and with use of the barre. "Barre" is a low-impact, but high energy class focused on lengthening and leaning the muscles through use of light weights, bands, body weight and isometric movement. Guaranteed to push you, challenge you, and empower you, all while having fun!!!

FIT BOOTCAMP

  • Tuesdays and/or Thursdays, 9:00-10:00am
  • Lisa's class is a muscle building focussed class where we lift heavier weights in a controlled, supported way focussing on one muscle group at a time. Building muscle is essential as we age in order to keep our metabolic rate high and our joints supported. Different muscle groups are covered each day of the week so we will cover them all in the week. All equipment needed is supplied in class, if you want to lift very heavy weights (10lb+) please bring them.

Mat-Based Pilates

  • Wednesdays, 10:00-11:00am
  • Mat Pilates is a series of functional movement exercises which focuses on strengthening and lengthening your spine & core muscles while also training your arms and legs. Mat Pilates can be modified for any age, body or fitness level, so it is perfect for every body. Overall, Pilates can help increase your strength, flexibility and balance so that you can move with more confidence in your everyday activities.
