Breathing is the foundation of life, and the way we breathe can profoundly affect our physical and emotional well-being. Robin from PrairieGirlMountainSoul teaches Conscious Connected Breathwork, combined with gentle movement and a music sound healing experience. This combination provides a gentle, supportive approach to help individuals safely navigate their way out of frozen, immobilized states and release deeply held tension from the body.

Breathwork increases heart rate variability and helps you regulate your nervous system. Establishing a healthy connection to your nervous system, by learning and practicing this Conscious Connected Breathing will help to alleviate physical, mental and emotional symptoms related to hyper or hypo tension (a state which most of us are living in) and can reduce symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression and chronic stress.

During this 6 week program, these breathwork experiences will be combined with learning about the nervous system and encouraging breath and body awareness to promote overall wellness of the physical body as well as emotional and mental clarity.


Please bring water, a yoga mat and small blanket. Please wear loose fitting clothing that does not constrict breathing.

Shotokan Karate is a traditional no contact style.

We strive to be able to train for our whole lives. A martial art differs from sport in many ways. For sport, one trains to win a match/game. A martial art trains its students to become better people.

Karate trains the spirit, encourages seeking perfection of character, high morals, as well as physical fitness, flexibility, reaction timing, situational awareness, effective self-defense, dedication, and much more.

"Steel Clubs work muscles that are not able to be reached using conventional equipment due to the fact they are unevenly weighted.  Unusual muscles can also be reached due to the unconventional movement patterns that occur when training with steel clubs.  These movements tend to be more curved and circular and involve multi joint, closed kinetic chain and very large whole body combination movements.  Clubs also enhance grip strength and forearm strength and pair well with functional exercises".

These classes offers a range of intensity options and modifications to meet your fitness level. Please wear comfortable clothing and footwear.

It's a fun environment for children to develop physical, social and emotional skills, while offering parents/caregivers an opportunity to connect and network with one another.

You must register your child to attend this free program.

Karate based self-defence classes taught by Ryan Porath, 6th degree black belt.

We will focus on how to evade an attack, and easy actions that can be taken to escape if you are attacked. We cover not only striking and kicking but also situational safety, how to use improvised weapons, and how to get someone off of you even if they have you pinned down on the ground. It is not a heavy duty punching and kicking workout, but rather a class that any person of any age and physical condition can take. During each class you will learn new concepts that you can apply immediately! You will learn how to maximize your energy, and be most effective when you do have to strike.

This class is for both brand new skaters (who are not confident with their balance on the ice), and beginner level skaters (children who are able to stand and move forward independently on the ice). Any child who is 3 or 4 year old would be preferred to be accompanied by a parent or guardian with basic skating ability. Volunteers are encouraged to be on the ice. 

Instructors will separate the group according to skill level. New skaters will focus on their balance, posture, falling down and getting up, turning and jumping on the spot and gliding on two feet! Beginners with some experience on the ice will learn to glide forward, skate backwards, and learn stopping techniques.

Age: Participant must be 3 years old by the beginning of the course.

Equipment: Please bring skates and appropriate clothing to stay warm on the ice (ski pants, jacket, mitts or gloves).  A CSA (Canadian Standards Association) approved helmet is required for both parent and the child.

No Class Nov. 11

Mindful Munchkins is a brand new program geared towards identifying emotions and how to manage them. So often we forget that our little ones don’t have the language to express how they’re feeling and use actions instead. This six week program will include identifying different emotions, learning about self-regulation, developing problem solving skills, fostering positive self-esteem, and modelling empathy. All of this will take place while building strong and positive parent-child relationships!

Parent or caregiver participation required.

There are many benefits to joining an indoor walking club:

1. An indoor space means a climate-controlled setting, not too hot, not too cold!

2. Increased safety - using an indoor track can be safer than walking outdoors, and no worries about speeding cars. 

3. Close amenities, water and washroom nearby. 

4. Social interaction - a walking club is an opportunity to socialize and make new friends!

5. Medical response, having someone around can provide peace of mind in case an emergency happens.
