Class descriptions

Yoga for Athletes

Improve your fitness and sport performance with a yoga practice that prevents injury, increases concentration, and increases lung capacity.  Lengthens tight hamstrings from running, opens tight hips from skiing, releases low back pain and tension headaches, prevents illness and more.  You will leave feeling more balanced, stronger and ready to take on your next fitness goal.

Intermediate Hatha Yoga

Suitable for students who have a general grasp of yoga and are looking to try more challenging poses and to hold poses for a longer duration.  Also suitable for gymnasts, dancers and all-round athletes with some flexibility.  We will also include pranayama practice (breathwork) and learn some sanskrit terms.

Gentle Yoga

Has someone suggested that you try yoga for an injury, to improve overall fitness or as a general health enhancement? Curious about what all the talk is about? Join this beginner’s class and experience the calming and centering effects of yoga.  This class will introduce basic yoga postures and sun salutations with many adaptations to allow any body to reap the benefits of yoga.  It is also suitable for those with yoga experience looking for a gentle, restorative practice on a Sunday morning.

Cardio Sculpt

This 75 minute high energy class is an all-in-one workout designed to increase your optimum cardiovascular fitness and health, while toning and sculpting sexy lean muscles.  Circuit training drills will drive your cardio endurance up, and simple yet challenging strength training exercises will create lean and strong muscles.  A special focus on balance and strengthening the core, abs and lower back will help skiers and snowboarders excel on the hill while reducing the chance for injury.

Snowshoe Tracks

The majestic Beaver Valley is home to 12 km of Snowshoe trails located just off the club’s true North Trail. The trail is well marked with signage to guide you along your journey in the woods. The trail map runs in beginner, intermediate and advanced loops to direct you back safely to the Club.
