The air is warmer, daylight is longer, and spring is right around the corner! Spring registration is now OPEN! We have changed registration this session to accommodate busier spring schedules and more ladies wanting to try a variety of classes, especially as we head outdoors! We are now offering four different "class pass" options which you can mix and match with the different classes throughout the six week session or you can choose to stick to your usual one class per week!

Somedays all you need is a good stretch.  The occasional morning, I will wake-up and my body is begging me to forget about the workout I had planned. It is asking me to please grab my mat, the foam roller, play some calming tunes, and enjoy deepening into each stretch. If our family's schedule allows, these weeks, I also try to squeeze in a yoga class, because if my body is asking for that down time, I can guarantee my mind is also needing it.  Full Body Stretch spend approximately 30 seconds in each stretch (up to 60 seconds if needed) Downward Dog Start in downward facing dog with hips high.

Muffins sometimes get a bad reputation.  They are often compared to having cake for breakfast or full of saturated fats and refined sugar. This can be 100% true, however, muffins can also be a convenient source of nutrients! You can make a few batches ahead of time, freeze them, and then grab one or two as you run out the door to conquer your day! Healthy muffins can be a great post-workout snack and are perfect paired with a smoothie or cup of coffee (or both)! We can "hide" vegetables in muffins to give them flavour, make them moist, and add nutrients! We can use non-refined sugar, as well as many varieties of flour to make them as good for you as can be.  Below, there are links to three tried and tested muffin recipes that are delicious, avoid refined sugar, and full of good-for-you stuff that will have you and your family asking for more!
