New Classes starting up, including Pilates and Poling. We are walking near by canal paths, using the ergonomically designed Urban Poles. Urban poling improves core strength, posture, weight loads upper and lower body so it's great for bone density, provides cardio, utilizes 20-40% more calories than walking alone. We are then back to the studio for myofascial Stretching.

Osteopathy myofascia stretching classes begin featuring stretching and muscle strengthening techniques based on the teaching of Dr. Guy Voyer MD, DO (osteopath). The response is great. People feel their bodies changing as the MFS work enables the joints to move more freely.

The precision involved in MFS leads to a degree of efficiency that is far greater than achievable with standard stretching techniques.
