Featured this month are the Pilates Restore, Simply Restorative and Lunch Yoga-Pilates Flow series. So read on to find out more. And more to come as the summer unfolds. So stay tuned!

Pilates Restore Series

If you’re looking for the best of both worlds in a movement class – building functional core strength AND making time for mind-body relaxation – this is THE class to take! Join Tara for this combo class of Pilates and Restorative Yoga.

Pilates strengthens your integral core at the deepest layers. It aims to realign the spine while also engaging smaller “twitch” muscles. In turn, this allows your body to move as a whole – optimally and with joy. Each class will conclude with a small restorative yoga practice to allow you to connect with your mind and body and leave class feeling content and at ease.

Dates: Wednesday June 9th to July 14th

Time : 5-6:00pm

Cost: $72 for the full 6 weeks

Simply Restorative Series

Restorative Yoga is a favourite of ours, to teach and to practice as it facilitates activation of the Parasympathetic Nervous System. Above all, engaging this system is often considered the antidote to dealing with stress. Further, by focusing on slow, gentle, and subtle practices, Restorative Yoga signals to the body-mind it is time for rest and recovery. Check out what happened for this team of social workers when they began incorporating Restorative Yoga into their self-care plans.

More specifically, you will learn some relaxing breathing techniques and move through a series of fully supportive postures. Certainly, removing muscular tension within the body and peeling away any layers of stress and tension is the main goal!

Date: Monday, June 14th to July 19th

Time: 9:30-10:30am

Restorative Yoga is a fantastic tool to move you into the Parasympathetic Nervous System response. Above all, engaging this system is often considered the antidote to dealing with stress.
