Hello extraordinary humans,The next series of Creative Conditioning starts Monday, May 25th and still has a couple spots open. This is an all levels strength focused progressive geared towards hypermobile bodies and creative movers. Over 6 weeks we will build confidence and awareness around core exercises and explore how changes in load, tempo and over all workout structure can create new connections and better pay offs outside of the gym. No previous strength training or movement experience required. The class will include a warm up focused on nervous system care and optimizing joint position and awareness before heading into the main body of the workout. Class will close with a cool down and informal question period. A bonus addition to this class is the (optional) group WhatsApp where I share the workout structures so you can play with them later and folks share victories, complaints and pet pics. The Details:Class dates: May 25, June 1, 8, 25, 22, 29 Time: 6pm - approximately 7:15pm Location: Fitness Science 379 terminal ave Cost: $200.00 + taxes Register here:

This exercise looks at getting better rib cage expansion, specifically through the posterior chain, an area that is usually pretty locked down...
Hello extraordinary humans, Three months ago I was told by my doctor that it was time to start “being realistic” about my recovery from this concussion. I think it’s obvious to state that I was not pleased with her suggestion (and yes, I very politely pushed back - more on that below.) After the conversation I immediately called my mom and declared: “I don’t want to be realistic, I want to be delusional!” The thing is, I have never gotten anything I have ever wanted by just being realistic....
