Belly Dance is a great work-out that incorporates the whole body, tones, builds muscle, & helps you feel beautiful in your body. Some say it also reduces their stress load & helps them feel playful & fun. Angie understands that many feel shy to come at first but does her best to help you feel safe & relaxed as you embark on this new adventure. She has taught/performed in British Columbia, Mexico, & New Brunswick & completed her teacher training in Banff, Alberta. For our class: mats, hip scarves, & veils are provided.

HIIT. Increase your endurance, strength, speed, and power with this 45-minute high-intensity interval training workout. It involves plyometrics (jump training), agility, reactive training, and calisthenics (bodyweight exercises) performed to energizing music.

Location: STUDIO
YOGA. Taught by Angie Oriana Jenkins of Sister Lotus, the classes welcome mixed-levels students of all ages/body types/abilities. Your teacher often gives modifications to more difficult poses whenever possible. We generally start with more movement-type exercises to warm up & eventually move into holding poses. Angie has been practicing Yoga for over 30 years as she started as a teenager. Her first teacher, who studied directly with BKS Iyengar in India, prepped her to be an instructor. Angie went on to teach at Planet Fitness, Ganges Yoga Studio, & at a variety of smaller venues/events over the years including many on campus. She likes to blend a variety of Yogic styles with Pilates & Mobility training. When she is not teaching Yoga, you can find her vending her herbal bodycare products, dance performing, or teaching/consulting on herbal medicine. For our class, mats are provided. Please wear stretchy clothes & bring drinking water.
