It’s never too late to start strength training 💪 This beginner-friendly course offers a supportive, non-intimidating introduction using bodyweight, resistance bands, and free weights, with clear guidance and a pace that meets you where you’re at. Whether you’re brand new to fitness or building sustainable habits, you’ll develop strength in a way that feels doable and rewarding.

Regular strength training supports joint health, bone density, balance, and long-term independence 🦴✨ You’ll also learn simple warm-ups, cool-downs, and yoga-inspired stretches 🧘‍♀️ to create a well-rounded routine you can continue at home or in our drop-in strength classes. All ages welcome, with options and adaptations offered in a small-group setting 🤍

Tue, Jan 13 – Tue, Feb 17
4:00 PM – 5:00 PM

Wednesdays are undergoing a refreshing transformation! In response to the increased interest in morning sessions over the past year, we now offer two morning options.

Kick off your day with Anne Michelle's Slow Flow class from 9 to 10 a.m. or take a leisurely morning enjoying your coffee before joining Leena for the Essentials class from 10:30 to 11:45 a.m. Additionally, we’ve adjusted the start time for Strength & Flow to 5:45 p.m. in the evenings to better accommodate your post-work schedule.

Here’s the lowdown on parking when you swing by for class!

**Driveway tips:**

- 🚙 The parking spots are just for students of The Branches during class times.
- 🚙 Make sure to pull in as much as you can (aim for 4 cars deep) to save space.
- 🚙 Try to clear out of your spot within 5-10 minutes after class wraps up.
- 🚙 Do not park in the driveway on the right side of the building.

**Neighborhood parking vibes:**

Just a friendly reminder, we’re in a residential area, so let’s be good neighbours!

- 🚘️ If you can, show up a bit early and check out the side streets for parking. We want to keep Samuel St. from getting too crowded (check the map for where to go).
- 🚘️ According to the city rules, stay at least 1.5 meters away from any driveways when you park.
- 🚘️ Don’t forget to peek at the parking signs; most side streets have free 2-3 hour parking available.
- 🚘️ And definitely avoid the private lot across the street from The Branches.

Taking a 200-hour YTT and becoming a yoga teacher is only the beginning, and a lot of 200-hour training programs have big gaps in their curriculum regarding history, political contexts, social justice, and accessibility in yoga spaces.

The questions that matter most often come after the 200-hour training is finished. This is the question we explore in this powerful continuing education module. "How do I integrate what we know about trauma and the nervous system into the way I teach?"

Sessions run Jan-April, online or hybrid.
