Movement Mondays - FUNctional Strength

Service Description

On select Mondays in October and November we gather together to explore what it's like to find a strength that is based on ease and function. Perfect for those who have chronic tension, are just on the other side of an injury, have long time pain, are hyper-mobile, or just want a gentle way to start to strengthen. In each class we'll focus on ONE aspect of strength, and build slowly and purposefully so that you can engage with your body and muscle in a spacious way. There will be many resting breaks throughout; this is NOT a no-pain no-gain style of class. If you need to constantly push yourself, this class isn't for you BUT if what you'd love is a way to slowly, mindful engage with your body in a beautiful way to reconnect with strength then this is a fit. "WHAT??!!! Why didn't anyone tell me that's what is supposed to be happening in this pose?" is a common sentiment heard; along with moments of Aha - the realization that this pose doesn't have to hurt and we can do the postures in a way that is congruent with our own bodies which leads to more strength. We take one movement, understand what that feels like in our bodies; what our range of motion truly is, and what compensations we are using to force ourselves into the postures of Yoga...and learn how to dissolve those and work WITH our bodies creating a deeper sense of balance and strength. My classes are smaller on purpose! I have always preferred being able to get to know my students and teach my classes based on what students need. This is means you get a lot of 1-1, and more support for your practice. This is a registered class. You are considered registered when you have paid (or arranged payment). E-transfer is preferred, cash & cheques are fine too. I know we all have different budgets to work with and life realities, so if one of the below does not work for you please reach out to me and we can find something that does (sincerely, I have been there too, when I couldn't afford something I truly wanted to do). $60-$75-$90 Things to know: The class may be 1 hr but it is usually 2 hours of my time, these small private-like workshops are usually $40-$50 EACH in other places; it's totally okay to choose the lowest amount if you need too, AND if that's still too much for you please reach out to me. Mondays October 7, 21, 28, Nov 18 & 25 from 9:15-10:15am
