Happy New Week and new month! This month’s series is about consciously choosing how we want to feel regardless of our circumstances.With self-awareness, we unlock access to choice: we get to choose how we respond, who we are being, how we are feeling. The practice of intenSati is the embodiment of consciously calling up a renewing emotion and experiencing it fully.
In this month’s intenSati classes, you’ll find a cardio series that will allow you to embody the energy of gratitude so that you can look for possibility, train your brain to welcome adversity and bounce forward no matter what life throws at you. You’ll also find a stretching sequence designed to promote positivity in the body and remove mental and emotional blocks, as well as a closing meditation that will help seal all of this month’s work in.
This month, which emotion are you choosing regardless of your circumstances?

LUNGtivity is a special exercise program, coordinated by the Lung Association, for people with lung disease. We will be offering classes and will be able to help you tap into other community resources.
LUNGtivity is a community based education and exercise program for people with lung disease from COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, bronchiectasis, pulmonary hypertension, chronic bronchitis, CF, emphysema, or lung cancer, and suffering post COVID breathing/lung issues. New evidence is emerging that indicates up to 50% of COVID survivors who require hospitalization will have long term lung issues that are similar to those with lung disease, such as shortness of breath, fatigue, weakness, de-conditioning, flare-ups and lung infections. While no one knows if COVID related lung issues are reversible, get worse or improve, this exercise based rehab will play a pivotal role in regaining function and enjoying activities of daily living (ADL).
This program is even for someone with an oxygen tank. Patients must be able to adhere to their medications as prescribed and identify symptoms of a flare up and know when to seek medical attention. We assist clients in all of this and in setting up an action plan with their family physician or respirologist to assist in the event of a flare-up. Self management is the concept of giving clients the tools they need to take control of their own health and wellness.These skills are important factors in their ability to manage their lung disease.
There is a warm-up, cardio strength, stretch and cool down portion for a 30-45 min class on Zoom and maybe one day back in person. We practice breathing techniques & relaxation techniques as well. It is 8 weeks 2X per week and pre-registration is required.
BENEFITS:

GOOD NEWS! We’re back to group classes. Starting Monday March 8, in-person classes will resume. Zoom classes will continue and with possibly some minor schedule changes to accommodate the instructors return to the studio and still teaching on zoom
If you were scheduled into a class pre-lockdown, please re-book yourself back in as soon as possible. Just put yourself in class and if we need to, we can work out payment after. Pre-lockdown, many of our classes were full so if your class of 5 gets fully booked, contact us and we will try to accommodate you at another time as best we can.
In-person classes are still only 10 for $190.00 (GST included). Zoom classes cannot be used to pay for in-person classes because they are at a lower price so be sure to order another 10 class pass with an e-transfer, cheque or cash. We ask that you not use credit cards for purchases so we can keep our costs down. With e-transfers, no password is required and simply indicate what you are ordering in the message box please. If you plan to stop taking zoom, let us know and for the next couple of months, we will refund the value left back into your account so it can be used for purchasing the in-person class pass
