Active Living: Embrace the Energy 🌟

Are you ready to step into a healthier, more vibrant version of yourself? 💪✨

Active living isn't just about being physical—it's about moving your body in a variety of ways every day, fueling your energy through nutrition, good rest, and embracing every moment with purpose and joy.

Active Living encourages us to create healthy social connections through activity. Movement helps us process our thoughts and emotions, grounding us and helping us get through difficult circumstances with greater mental clarity, ease, compassion and resilience.

Ways you can get more active today!

🏃‍♀️ Take a walk in the fresh air down by Cobourg Beach!

🚴‍♂️ Ride your bike to discover new places

🧘‍♂️ Stretch your mind and body with yoga or meditation

💃 Dance like no one's watching for one song a day—because why not?

Every step, stretch, and jump counts toward a life filled with strength and vitality.
Let’s make movement a lifestyle, not a chore 🌈

Tag us and share how YOU stay active! 🌍👇



📸 Reminder: The best time to start is NOW. Let’s do this together! 🙌

The real beauty of our boutique Pilates business, is each and every one of you!

We love sharing our gifts of teaching and introducing new movement practices and ways of Living and Moving Well! However it is our clients that really make the classes and atmosphere of our studio great! Through consistency, dedication to the practice of Pilates and themselves, they are growing and learning and are literally just amazing to watch evolve.

Often described as Cobourg's best kept secret, Our Somatic Movement Centre is quietly serving the Northumberland community, teaching not only movement skills but autonomy, resilience, embodiment and how to keep yourself healthy without breaking you down, exhausting you further and impeding your progress.

Our philosophy is more like "slow and steady wins the race, as opposed to go big or go home". We are not here to compete (other than our own PB) but to gain the wealth that health offers.

If you are interested in the Art of Pilates we have got you.

Learn Pilates better than you ever have before, It IS in the details darlings.

Enjoy this video clip of our clients in our Group Reformer Pilates Classes!

We look forward to building lasting and meaningful relationships with you.

In these ever changing and often stressful times of world issues and even our own homegrown issues, I go back to my roots 🇨🇦, grounding, finding solace in nature and in what is tangible and real.

Yoga offers us so many wonderful ways to approach our experience of the turmoil and pressures we are all subjected to. When feeling uncertain I double down on what I DO know. I know that Yoga brings to me a feeling of safety, and connectedness to ALL of me and others. I root down into the Earth through my feet and rise tall towards the sky. I stand where hundreds of thousands have stood before me in Tadasana (Mountain Pose). Proud and strong like we stand in the True North.

Yoga brings me back to my roots of feeling at home in my body, feeling at ease in my mind. By cultivating this through practice and more practice...connecting with aspects of our personalities, thoughts, beliefs about ourselves and others. We can shift our ways of being, we can make profound change in how we treat one another, relate to one another and function as a community, a town, a province, a country.

It is through yoga we can increase empathy and grow Unity, Social Justice and Compassion for Humanity in todays world.

At LWMC we Embrace Yoga's Roots, by honouring the culture from which it has come. We do not dilute our Yoga teachings with other Western practices or influence.

"When we mistake yoga for a workout routine, reduce it to physical fitness or even do some of the deeper aspects of yoga without an eye to the whole system of liberation it offers, we rob ourselves and each other of the potential of this practice," says Susanna Barkataki.

If you are looking for depth and meaning, mindfulness and to learn Yoga as a Holistic Lifestyle Practice 🔽

Join us for Yoga that is Trauma-Informed, Inclusive and is Conscious of Cultural Appropriation and more. How can we learn to do this (yoga, life, connecting to one another) better? Find out how, visit us for a class and join our movement.

🌊 Join us for our unique monthly offering of a Somatic Reset! 🌊

Many of our clients have received great benefit from the Somatic Movement work that we offer here in Cobourg.

🌊 Our regular Somatic Movement class (Tuesdays at 3:30pm) and Somatic Yoga class (Fridays at 4:00pm) take place earlier in the day and are difficult for our full time work students to attend. So we thought we would offer you and extended workshop option where you not only get a full body Somatic Reset but you get a workshop format where you learn a bit more than just the movement sequences, includes a bit of theory and understanding of the neurological, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of this work.

We welcome you to our safe and supportive environment, community and education centre.

📌 NEXT Upcoming Dates are 📌:

Saturday, December 14th at 1-3pm
Saturday, January 18th at 1-3pm
Saturday, February 15th at 1-3pm

We look forward to connecting with you!
