Barre is a fusion of Dance, Pilates, & Functional Fitness. Led by an ex-professional dancer from New Zealand, Melissa James, you'll keep moving to the beat of the music while seamlessly moving through a full body workout which focuses on mobility and stability of all the major joints, you'll connect to your core, and you'll also feel a deep activation into your legs and glutes.
Absolutely no dance experience is needed, as this is definitely not a 'dance class'. Barre is also very much for both males & females, and for all ages!
Some previous experience in Pilates and/or functional fitness is ideal.

A Hormones 101 talk - Naturopath Aranka Jones

From hot flashes to insomnia, heavy periods to vaginal dryness, menopause isn’t exactly a walk in the park! Your metabolism and libido are going off the rails and you’re suddenly worried about brittle bones, blood pressure and heart attacks. One minute you’re cruising through your 40’s, your career on fire, kids almost off to college and the next minute YOU’RE on fire as you frantically Dr. Google your symptoms at 3am during yet another sweaty, sleepless night.

You’ve heard conflicting opinions about menopausal hormone therapy. You worry about the safety and side effects of estrogen but herbal remedies just aren’t cutting it. You’re tempted to fork out a small fortune for a fancy hormone test your best friend’s neighbour did but worry you’re about to be swindled. One minute calcium is good for you, the next it’s dangerous. Everyone is going keto or plant based but you love carbs and meat. To top it all off Gwyneth Paltrow wants you to steam your vagina.

If any of this sounds familiar then you won't want to miss this talk!

Aranka Jones is a naturopathic doctor who loves separating science from snake oil. She educates and empowers her patients to optimize their health with evidence based integrative medicine. In 60 minutes she will share what she wants every woman and person with ovaries to know about peri-menopause and menopause, with an emphasis on treating symptoms and preventing chronic disease.

Learn to feel calm, confident and capable in your body with Cameron
Mattice’s guidance through an moving meditation called Qigong.
Qigong is an ancient practice developed in China, and is considered to
be a “mind-body” practice which incorporates movement, posture,
breathing, visualization, relaxation and self-massage. While there are
different forms of qigong, the main intention of qigong is to improve
health by increasing “qi” (or life-force) through consistent application of
various exercises (“gong” means cultivation or practice).
This holistic practice has far reaching benefits which impact both the
body and mind. To name a few of these benefits, one consistently
practicing qigong can experience increased energy, improved memory,
focus, and clarity of thought, reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep,
improve immune function, and reduce pain while supporting the healing of
injuries.

With a focus on injury prevention, functional and athletic movements, these classes are comprised of dynamic warm ups, agility, cardiovascular, strength, balance and core conditioning movements. Recovery sessions complete the workout with partner flexibility and foam roller myofascial work. New participants receive a thirty minute private movement assessment.

Join a different ALC staff member each day for a 15 minute pre-recorded Core workout so you can start your day, end your day or do it anytime that you need a break during your day.

This is uniquely designed to explore movement and discover what
your body is capable of. The intent is to establish a strong
foundation of body awareness, strength, and coordination by
focusing on the core primal movement patterns being the Squat,
Hinge, Push, Pull, Weighted Carries and Locomotion.

Over the course of the 6 weeks, you can expect to be challenged
both physically and mentally, learn how to master proper
technique of the fundamental movements, and feel supported in
an encouraging environment. During the first session, we will
evaluate your strength and mobility to establish your starting
point. Progress will continue to be monitored throughout the
program, so that by the end of 6 weeks you can see what type of
improvements you’ve made. In the subsequent sessions, you can
expect to learn simple movements that build progressively over
the course of the 6 weeks towards more challenging variations,
keeping in mind that each movement can modified to meet
individual needs.

The program will run twice per week, and will be set to a small
group of 6 adults. This format was selected to emphasize two
important factors that encourage long-term sustainable change;
consistency and community. It requires consistent effort over an
extended period of time in order to move towards mastery, and
build strength that lasts. Furthermore, it helps to participate in a
supportive community that keeps you accountable to the goals
you’ve set, while allowing you to have fun throughout the process.
