Activity Descriptions

Tai Chi

Try Tai Chi led by Louise Liu, a Certified Tai Chi Coach and Personal Trainer. With extensive experience in traditional Tai Chi, Louise has personally experienced its transformative effects, including improved mobility, increased energy, and reduced stress. Passionate about sharing this graceful and therapeutic practice, Louise aims to enrich our community by offering a welcoming space for everyone, regardless of fitness level, to cultivate physical balance, mental clarity, and enhanced vitality.

LivFit Exercise 

LivFit Exercise with Diane and Grant Hernden for those 35 years of age and older.

As retired secondary school teachers, having 30 years of service as educators in health and fitness, Diane and Grant hold numerous certifications including Certified Personal Trainer with Merit, Cancer Exercise Specialist and Older Adults Exercise Specialist.

During the weekly hour sessions, LivFit participants will be lead through a safe and effective group exercise program to help increase muscle strength and restore balance. Individual strengths and abilities will be celebrated, and the class guarantees to provide enjoyment, laughs, and social connections in a friendly atmosphere. Diane and Grant welcomes all abilities. No membership required.

Volleyball - Men

This activity is drop-in and a fun and casual way to get involved in recreational men's volleyball. For those who wish to participate, simply show up to the Stratford Agriplex, 357 McCarthy Road, on Wednesdays. A small activity fee is gathered each session to support facility and equipment costs.

Should there be interest in gathering a group of women to play volleyball at the same time on Wednesdays, let us know at 519-271-0250 extension 249! We'd be thrilled to start a women's pick-up volleyball activity on an adjacent court. 

Yoga - Chair

Join us for a chair yoga!

Practice postures will modify traditional yoga poses so that they can be done while seated in a chair. The modifications make yoga accessible for people who struggle to stand, and/or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated. Students will complete versions of gentle twists, hip stretches, forward bends and mild backbends, all combined with mindful breathing.

Yoga - Flow

Join us for a well-balanced weekly yoga class!

Practice postures that facilitate balance and coordination, strength and mobility with a running theme of mindful breathing throughout.

The class is for anyone 35 years of age and older. All abilities welcome.

 

Yoga - Hatha

Discover the rejuvenating power of Hatha/Gentle Flow Yoga at the cozy Ritsma Room. Ideal for both beginners and seasoned practitioners, this class delicately combines a tranquil series of yoga poses with mindful breathing techniques. Practiced at a more deliberate pace than Vinyasa or Ashtanga styles, our sessions focus on static holds, enhancing balance and flexibility. Don't miss the chance to secure your spot, as there's a maximum of 20 participants. Embrace this opportunity to harmonize your body and mind in a serene, supportive environment.

The class is for anyone 35 years of age and older. All abilities welcome.

Yoga - Nidra

Experience the transformative power of Nidra, a unique practice that offers the profound relaxation of a waking sleep. Engage in focused breath work and a rejuvenating body scan while lying down, followed by soothing long hold stretches in a supine position. This session is designed to refresh your mind and body, providing the reset of energy akin to a revitalizing nap. Perfect for recharging in a peaceful, restful environment, allowing you to emerge renewed and invigorated.

The class is for anyone 35 years of age and older. All abilities welcome.
