10-11am Yoga for Stability & Strength 60min
Join Janelle for a rejuvenating experience! This class:
- uses current movement science and fascia activation to develop healthy movement patterns so you can avoid underuse and overuse injuries (it is crazy to think that underuse injuries are now more prevalent than overuse injuries!)
- can be applied to all other physical activities you do and can improve your strength quickly
- creates optimal joint positions, better balance, movement efficiency and healthy function over the long term
- gives your nervous system the information it needs to stabilize your joints and feel your body and lets you access your full strength. When your nervous system knows you are stable it can let go of chronic tension and stiffness

11:30am-12:45pm Pilates with Heidi 75min
Join Heidi for a dynamic Pilates class designed to invigorate your body and rejuvenate your mind.
Discover the power of precise movement, elevate your strength, enhance flexibility and prioritize injury prevention through controlled movement by emphasizing smaller muscle groups and enhancing posture through a series of controlled, flowing movements.

Whether you’re a seasoned Pilates enthusiast or new to the practice, Heidi’s expert guidance will help you reconnect with your body, relieve stress and boost overall vitality. Expect a refreshing blend of energizing exercises and restorative stretches, leaving you feeling balanced, revitalized, and ready to take on the day. Perfect for all fitness levels!
What to bring: yoga mat, water and small tea mug.

1-1:45pm Sleep Yoga: Yoga Nidra & Sound Healing 45min
Yoga nidra means “yogic sleep” and is a guided meditative experience that moves the body and mind into deeper rest and healing. It allows you to access brainwaves that are responsible for the healing and restoration that happens in your body during deep sleep.
Settle into deep replenishment and reduce stress on your body and mind. Janelle will be guiding this session that will be accompanied by music and then will finish with a soundbath with crystal bowls, chimes, a rain stick and an ocean drum. There will be an optional Christmas Spirit essential oil offered to enjoy as well.
What to bring: yoga mat, 2 blankets, bolster, eye cover, water and small tea mug.
