Strengthen, Stretch & Tone - VIRTUAL

A class involving standing and mat based exercises to increase flexibility and mobility; improve the strength and tone of muscles; and help align posture for better balance and breathing. Our practice will make use of a variety of tools from yoga mats and blocks to light hand weights, resistance bands, and exercise balls as required. Equipment is provided.

This class is offered in a hybrid format so participants can attend in person or virtually via Zoom.

Please note that registering for this version of the program reserves space for you to join virtually via Zoom. If you are looking to attend the program in person at the CHCN, please register for "Strengthen, Stretch & Tone - IN PERSON"

As a non-profit organization, we rely on generous donations for the sustainability of our community programs. These donations go back in to the programs to cover costs such as certified yoga instructor fees, adding additional specialty classes and updating equipment to ensure that the space and programs are as accessible as possible.

Please remember donations (while very much appreciated) are NOT mandatory. We never want finances to be a reason that someone cannot participate in our programming.
