Happy World Meditation Day!

We love to use mediation in our group Yoga classes as a tool to journey deeper into yourself.

Finding stillness within through mindful meditation.

"Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment." — Alan Watts

Join us for our Yin Yoga on Thursday nights at 6:30pm to delve into deep releasing poses to ease your body, as well as thoughtful meditation to help ease your mind.

Know that there is no separation between the body and mind and you can help your wholeness through mind body practices.

We at Living Well Movement Centre are here to provide a safe space to learn, discover, feel and grow.

What we talk about everyday!

Stop pushing harder at the gym. The fitness trend that is actually extending lives looks nothing like what you would expect.

It is called slow fitness. And it is quietly replacing the "no pain, no gain" mentality that has dominated exercise culture for decades.

Slow fitness is built around controlled strength work, mindful mobility, precision movements like Pilates, low-impact conditioning, and purposeful recovery. It is not about doing less. It is about doing smarter.

A 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis confirmed that progressive exercise training is highly effective for aging bodies. But here is the biological nuance: while your bones do require the mechanical stress of heavier, progressive lifting to maintain their density, your joints, your hormones, and your nervous system do not need to be punished every single day. They thrive under steady, intentional movement.

In my clinical experience, the patients who stay active into their 70s and 80s are rarely the ones who crushed themselves in the gym at 40. They are the ones who found movement they could sustain for decades.

Walking. Yoga. Bodyweight exercises. Gardening. Dancing.

Longevity does not reward the hardest workout. It rewards the one you will still be doing in 20 years.

The question is not "how hard can I push today?" It is "what movement can I love for life?"

What is your favorite form of slow fitness? Share below.

Pilates is a wonderful modality that a person can do over many decades of their life. In fact many of our clients have been working with us for 8 years already!

It is a diverse and multifaceted practice that is great for active aging in all stages of life.

Our students ages range from teens to 80 year old's!

For the most part, we see a mixed crowd, men and women, that are open to one another and inclusive in every class.

If you are looking for a learning environment where the focus is on the practice and not as much on the aesthetic, we are your people.

We focus on accessible, authentic Pilates and are here for the process of growth, not instant or Insta status.

If this resonates drop a comment below!

Join our Pilates Mat Classes to begin your Pilates journey today.

Working with a client with peripheral neuropathy on her left side today. We did some Somatic neuroplasticity work bringing awareness to her left foot and hip. After which we did some Clinical Pilates working with the rotational discs on the Reformer.

She started to slide down with her left foot a little bit, but with my cueing, and her new found awareness and neural connection was able to self adjust, and find her correct footing without my tactile touch.

A day at the studio is always exciting!
