LAGOON CITY YOGA CLUB

The Lagoon City Yoga Club meets every Monday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. in the Community Centre, from the first Monday after Labour Day until the long weekend in May. We are very fortunate to have Heather, a Certified Yoga Instructor, teach our class.

Heather’s qualifications include: Bachelor of Science, Kinesiology; Masters of Applied Science, Nutrition; Certified Fitness Consultant; Registered Nutritional Consultant; Medical Exercise Therapy Diploma; Pro-Elite Athlete and Certified Yoga Teacher. As well, Heather has experience in physiotherapy programs and accommodating clients on a wide range of muscular/skeletal conditions.

Yoga helps to develop greater strength and flexibility, improve circulation and respiration, improve balance and co-ordination, gain relaxation and peace of mind, and rejuvenate your body. Each session includes various stretches, postures, breath-work, and relaxation techniques used to bring about a state of physical relaxation and mental concentration. Postures are modified to suit the individual, ranging from comforting the beginning student to challenging the advanced student.

You must be a member of L.C.C.A. to join, and the cost is $60.00 per six week session, payable on the first day. If you are going to be away and will miss half (or more) of the session, you may pay $12.00 per class and attend three classes. Some floor mats are available but it is recommended that you bring along a beach towel or small blanket, and perhaps a small cushion. No need to wear all that fashionable yoga gear – any loose, comfortable clothing that will enable you to stretch is fine. New members are always welcome, anytime throughout the year.
