Description

The Beyond Beginner Yoga class is for people with some yoga experience who want to move into sequencing and a wider variety of postures. The class will focus heavily on modifications and adaptations so that practitioners can meet their individual needs within a class setting. We borrow heavily from other movement modalities to build strength and flexibility as well as developing balance and increasing range of motion. Props are encouraged and incorporated throughout the class.

Participants should wear comfortable, flexible clothing suitable for movement and bring a reusable water bottle.

While yoga mats are provided on-site, please bring your own if you have one.

Katie began doing yoga over 25 years ago as a core part of movement practice in theatre school, which also included Pilates, Calisthenics, Feldenkrais modern dance conditioning and Alexander Technique. Katie has since developed her own personal practice that led to becoming a certified Registered Yoga Teacher with Reflections Yoga Studio in New York City. Katie has instructed yoga full-time at studios and clinics throughout Orillia and Barrie, and maintained a handful of private students while working with off-ice hockey training at Next Level Sports Performance. After co-owning a local studio in Orillia Katie pursued a Masters Degree in Movement: Teaching and Directing at Central School of Speech and Drama in London, England. Katie's style of yoga became less about specific poses and sequences and more about holistic movement and adaptability to facilitate the success of each individual body. Her classes encourage fun, discovery and experimentation. 

Diana is a Certified Personal Trainer, Pilates Instructor and Dance teacher. She loves nature and staying active and is committed to helping you have fun while exercising. 

With Diana's Zumba Dance Fit class you won't even notice you're exercising, because you'll be having so much fun. Diana's class is beginner friendly and includes Jazz, disco, hip-hop, and Latin vibes. Steps will be taught beforehand to make the experience more enjoyable and accessible for everyone. 

Classes are instructed by local artist Melissa Van Dam. Melissa has been teaching and creating with graphite, watercolour, and acrylics in the Orillia area for over 15 years. She also recently completed 100 paintings in 100 days in the watercolour medium, all of which can be found on her website and social media.
