Designed for the time-strapped wellness seeker, prepare to challenge yourself through a heart-pumping, fat-burning and muscle-toning Pilates Fusion class, find your flexibility and zen with flow, yin and restorative yoga, nourish your soul with amazing food and a talk with a health guru.

The experience
Only a short 45 minute drive out of the city will transport you to a little oasis nestled in the forest with a beautiful pond. You'll be greeted with a refreshing cold-pressed juice from Greenhouse to carry you into an intention-setting and welcome.
This will be followed by some heart pumping and muscle toning Pilates Fusion class. Towel off and get ready to be guided in a yoga flow that will continue to strengthen and lengthen those muscles, while tapping into the mind-body connection. Next comes some serious powerhouse nourishment with lunch and some mind-candy with a talk from Melanie of The Plant YYZ on tips and tricks for how to stay healthy and energized using plant based proteins.
Even warriors need to rest.
Now there is time for swimming in the pond (if weather allows and for the brave!), an infrared sauna, hike, or a siesta under a tree. There are also a limited number of Thai Massage appointments available (15 minute express zen!).
Fully nourished and rested, we go into a yin and restorative yoga practice that will take that heart rate down and give some serious loving to those well worked muscles. It's all tied together with a short meditation practice, while enjoying a scented savasana massage.
This brings your body, mind, soul all together, content, ready to take on Spring!
You're welcome :)

Leslie parsonsCertified STOTT Pilates Instructor, Mom, BadAss Cook Who Never Follows a Recipe Leslie’s foray into Pilates began because it helped cure her chronic back pain. Her appreciation of the discipline increased further when it helped her return to shape after both of her pregnancies. Since then, Leslie has immersed herself in Pilates and dynamic movement because of its myriad of benefits; improved core strength, muscle tone while also losing inches. Her classes are fast moving and full of unique sequences that work multiple muscle groups at once so students are able to feel and see results! It’s not easy but that’s exactly why it works! @ pilates8_ |
