It's November!

Pull out your woolies and rake up the leaves, it's coming!

Thank-you Monday yogis for coming out Sunday morning so that we could all enjoy Halloween last evening. I hope you had as much fun as I did chasing kids or filling up their bags with excitement! Now, what to do with all that candy????

We'd love to hear what you do with it! Free for all, Halloween Fairy, rationing, trade-in program, "donate" it, freeze it, or maybe yours collects dust all year long in the pantry?

Outdoor classes are officially over for the year. Thank-you for joining us, and making our job so much fun! Yoga will continue through the winter, and who knows what we might offer in January?! Check in weekly for updates!

Yoga schedule change reminder

Tonight's class is at the regular time and place, but next Monday, being Halloween, I have rescheduled class to the Sunday before which is October 30. 9:00-10:15am at the hall. That means 2 yoga classes this week! No change for Thursday night class.

It's still gorgeous outdoors, so we hope to see you outside this week too!

Last TBC Class of the session!

Come on out on Wednesday night for a fun late fall workout! We are going to exercise close to the hall where it is well lit, once the sun goes down. See you all on Wednesday!

Monday, October 10, 2011

Happy Thanksgiving!

Did anyone else have too much turkey? There's nothing better than a post turkey dinner workout if you ask me! Join us this week for total body conditioning, yoga or strollers in the park. Due to the shorter days, the total body conditioning class will be close held adjacent to the park.

note: Sue will be out of town next Monday for yoga, but has arranged for a sub. Enjoy the change! I'll look forward to seeing you on the 24th.

Is it summer?

It's been an amazing fall! The weather is perfect for working out in the park and in the ravine. Aside from the shorter days it's been feeling a lot like summer. We moved out TBC class up to 6:15 for the fall session to accommodate the shorter days. Sorry to all of you who showed up at our summer time this sesson. See you all this week for some great Yoga and Conditioning classes!

Wearing underwear that is just out of the dryer is awesome!

What does that have to do with exercise? Well it sure feels good on a cool morning or after a great workout! It's just one of the many awesome things described in The Book of Awesome by Neil Pasricha, a fun coffee table book to pick up the spirits by remembering the tiny things that make us feel great, if only for a few seconds at a time!

We have an amazing forecast on our hands this week, so can't wait to enjoy the outdoor workouts in complete comfort and light while we can!

ALL classes are open to drop-ins, or if you still want to register you can do that too!

Sunday, September 11, 2011

You're not too late!

We have space in all classes right now, so there's still time to get registered or just drop in when it works for you. Weekly schedule posted every Sunday for upcoming week's schedule.

Sorry! Tuesday morning hatha is CANCELLED this term.

Thursday, September 8, 2011

Strollers starts tomorrow! . . . Beginner yoga tonight

Gather up the kids and a sunhat, and join us in the park tomorrow. Who knows how long this amazing weather will last? So much less gear to pack when you know it's going to be warm!

How to make green things yummy!

Happy September!

What a glorious bout of weather to bring in the changing season! Wednesday night will be perfect for the first TBC workout of the fall session, we hope to see you there! Yoga classes start this week and next. Beginner Hatha this Thursday and Hatha on Monday of next week. Email or check the programs page for details!

The Wellness Weekend has been cancelled due to insufficient registration. Our sincere apologies to anyone who this has inconvenienced or disappointed.


Chocolate Pudding
serves 4

3 avocados
6 TBSP cocoa
1/4 cup honey (or to taste)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Sea salt

Puree the first 4 ingredients, then sprinkle with Sea salt before serving. It passed the kid test!

Kale chips

Wash and coarsely chop (so the pieces are like huge tortilla chip size) a bunch of kale, the really crinkly variety is nice, but any variety will do. Toss in a bit of olive oil and spread out on baking sheet. Sprinkle with whatever savory seasoning you like. I like salt and pepper with a bit of cumin, smoked paprika is yummy too! Bake at 300F for about 20 minutes for really crispy, less if you like it a bit less brittle. Excellent with a nice cold beer! Or not. Also passed the kid test with flying colours!

Triumph over Mosquitos!

It was inspiring to see all of you who came out last week to exercise while battling the bugs! We definitely got our arms up and moving, so while swatting you increased your heart rate and strengthened your shoulders--great work!

In case the bugs want to stick around, remember to wear lighter colours, bring repellant (we'll have some on hand too) and avoid eating bananas before you workout. Please add your bug-battling tips if you have some good ones!

Honour Your Health and Body

At this time of year we are often filled with motivation and energy to get active-what a relief, that long winter is over for good! Sometimes in that flurry of new activity we let our lofty goals blind our better sensibilities, and end up disappointed with an old pattern or cycle of ups and downs. Be mindful to stay balanced as you head out to "get fit for summer". Remember that exercise, healthy eating, and taking care of yourself are lifestyle choices that you will reap the benefits of and enjoy over the long term if you aren't too hard on yourself! Your body is unique and so are you! Celebrate who you are and focus on slow, gradual life changes that you will be able to keep for life!

Wind Resistant!

Spring is here, for real! The forecast is looking great for tonight! We've even ordered some wind to add a fun challenge to our workout. We might even pack a parachute or too, for those who are up for an extra challenge! Kidding! Tonight we'll be starting off at the hall and heading out to various spots in the ravine. We'll have a chariot for your water and valuables. See you tonight!

** I'll be offering a make-up/ drop-in class on Saturday, May 14th at 8:30am. We'll be exercising close to the park so feel free to bring your kids.


Monday, May 2, 2011

Vote for pure pleasure!

When was the last time you had a pleasant conversation with another motorist as you rolled down your neighbourhood street, or as you waited for the light to turn green? And what about the birds? When was the last time you were dropping the kids off at school, or on your way to work and you were able to hear the birds singing as you drove, and the sun warmed your back?

Exercise doesn't have to be a registered class, it can be pure pleasure in the middle of your day!
(I hope I'm not shooting myself in the foot here! . . . and don't forget to vote today!)

Strollers moving outdoors (hopefully!)

What a Fun Week!

We had some great classes this week! Thanks for the guinea pigs who showed up and tried out the new classes. On Thursday night we braved to the trails/lakes and ended up with rosy cheeks and cold soggy feet. On Friday morning we had a fun morning of family yoga. The room was filled with trees blowing in the wind, crocodiles and peeing dogs - lots of fun! We hope you enjoyed the spring break and we look forward to seeing you this week!

to love well, you must eat well

My friend just passed this recipe on to me. The recipe is taken from a cookbook entitled Cook by a (local) professional home economist Deborah Anzinger. My friend is a dietition and also very fit so if she's feeding these to her family, I know they must be great! Enjoy!

Yay, it's Spring!

. . . now if only it would "sprung"!

They say it takes 10 000 steps a day (not as much as you think if you count it all with a pedometer) for the average person to burn about an extra pound of fat or 3500 calories over the course of a week. But I think that if you put your rubber boots on and wade through the slush and deep puddles, throw in a friend and a bit of laughter, or maybe chase your dog, you could not only burn more energy, but have more fun doing it--not to mention the abdominal workout if you laugh a lot!

Winter yoga session ends Monday, room for drop-in. A couple spots still available for Spring session.

Coming when the snow melts. . . . outdoor classes and NEW small group (2-4 people) training by appointment! Watch for more info!

What's your score?

On a scale of 0 to 10 (where 0 is not important at all, and 10 is extremely important), how important is it to you to exercise on a regular basis?

After you answer this question, also ask yourself if you are honoring this value you hold. Life if busy and it is hard to fit it in! Can we help you get closer to your ideal?

. . . and don't beat yourself up over these questions! First awareness, then support and action!

ABOVE ALL, CELEBRATE YOUR SUCCESSES AND BUILD ON THOSE!


Sunday, January 30, 2011

This week we'll keep working on your core and strengthening your arms and legs so you will be prepared for the next big snowfall! There's a lot of work when there's a big snowfall, but it sure looks spectacular.

Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2011 and a fun year of fitness. We hope you've enjoyed the break and are looking forward to exercising with us! This year we hope to support and encourage you with your fitness and wellness goals and pursuits. We are offering a new program, which we are very excited about! Living Fit is an hour long class focussed on providing you with a safe, interesting and motivating exercise program. It's great if you are just getting back into exercising, or starting up for the first time. As well, we will continue to offer Strollers in the Hall/Park for parent's wanting to get some exercise while modelling a healthy lifestyle for their preschoolers and babies, Total Body Conditioning for those of you more interested in a more intense program, and Hatha yoga to keep the balance.
