Fitness Classes

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday the fitness class meets at 10:45 to11:45 to exercise to music. Instructor Ardella Schutt with CCAC and Family Physio creates a positive experience for all members of her class. She provides a range of low impact therapeutic exercise to help build and maintain individual body strength, balance, and flexibility. Ardella welcomes everyone to the group with her good nature, happy and creative spirit. Her work experience in nursing, recreation and activation has inspired her to keep learning and growing personally. Ardella makes exercise fun with a sense of humour that has the members laughing. Come out, join in and see how your body and spirit improves. This is a Heart-Wise Fitness Program recognized by the University of Ottawa Heart Institute.

Chair Yoga Classes

Tuesday’s from 3:00 to 4:00 with certified yoga teacher Courtney who began teaching in 2010 after taking her Yoga Exercise Specialist training. Courtney continued to grow her practice and in 2019 travelled to Peru to take her 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training. She believes yoga can transform your life in so many ways and has used her own practice to find more meaning and peace in her life.

Entertainment
