Yoga – We offer a variety of yoga classes at Nord-Bridge. Please see below.
Maximum: 14 Students (Gentle Yoga, Yoga Thrive, Yin Yoga) & 25 Students (Chair Yoga)
**Please refrain from wearing perfume or any scented products during any exercise class**
Gentle Yoga
This is a functional, gentle yoga class. The intention of this class is to enhance mobility, and flexibility through slow gentle movement. Some poses will be flowing; moving one pose gently into another. Other poses will be still, al-lowing for strength and stretch. This class is for any level, and modifications will be offered for any pose that simply is not feeling right. Some of the poses will be standing, some on the floor, or on a chair. *Please bring a yoga mat to class.
Chair Yoga
A gentle, flowing yoga class for all levels. Poses enhance strength, mobility, range-of-motion, and balance. The chair can be used as a prop, or you may remain sitting for the whole class. Pose options and modifications are available throughout the class. This is a very beneficial class for those looking for a gentle way to lengthen, and strengthen muscles and ligaments. This class will also help bring an overall sense of balance and calmness. Please bring a water bottle, everything else will be provided. Most of these classes use the chair only, due to the difficulty of getting down or up from the floor.
Yin & Yoga Nidra
is a slow-paced, therapeutic style of yoga. Yin postures are more passive postures, held for a few minutes. In this class we will explore the postures in seated, lying down positions as well using the wall for support. YOGA NIDRA is a form of guided meditation that allows you to scan your body and tap into a state of consciousness as the mind settles in a place between wakefulness and sleep (15 minutes of Nidra = approx. 1 hour of sleep). We will combine these two to create a more relaxing and releasing yoga practice throughout the body and mind.*Please bring your own yoga mat to this class*
Yoga Thrive
is an evidence informed yoga program for people with cancer, those beyond cancer, and their support per-sons. This gentle therapeutic yoga program provides a nurturing group environment, while imparting the personalized approach necessary to empower each of its participants. Yoga Thrive aims to enhance participant’s overall quality of life by improving mobility, stability, strength, and energy while reducing the pain and side effects of cancer and its treatment. Our students become more relaxed, better able to cope, and comfortable enough to reconnect more deeply to themselves and what is of value to them. Cheris Samuels-Murdoch (Cherry Rock Lifestyle) Tyla Arnason and Dr. Culos-Reed lead the Yoga Thrive Teacher Training Program that equips certified yoga instructors throughout Canada and the U.S. with the skillset necessary to teach within the cancer community. The aim is THRIVING not just SURVIVING! *Please ask for an intake form during registration** Please bring your own yoga mat to this class*
