Group classes beginning October 1st at Power Heart + Hustle at Hope Bay! I'm excited to announce that I will be a part of this team offering classes out of this beautiful space Krista has created! Registration begins TONIGHT at 5pm online at https://powerheartandhustle.ca

As I've just had a baby my return to group classes will be slow - I'll be teaching Yin Yoga on alternate weekends and Krista will be teaching mobility and breath work. Sundays at 6:45pm beginning Sunday October 3rd. Space is limited (5 participants per class) so be sure to register :)

Interesting read about gyms and likening them to arcades dying once people could play video games at home.

Some 59% of Americans don’t plan to return to a physical gym after the pandemic. What will fitness look like then?

Hi Everyone,

There was an update to indoor group fitness activity restrictions for B.C. last Wednesday and the wording of it was a little confusing. In the Vancouver Sun's summary of activities they listed "individual fitness activity" as being one of the "banned" indoor activities. I have confirmed that this wording is for individual weight lifting and does NOT apply to private instruction. This order was put in place to cover all banned GROUP indoor/outdoor fitness activities, so right now private yoga/pilates instruction is still allowed as long as the facility has a COVID-19 safety plan that is strictly followed. Please check out the Government of B.C. website for a complete list of rules and restriction...

Yoga & Pilates Studios... the guidelines are all constantly changing and getting confusing :(

B.C. just announced today new restrictions to indoor fitness including Yoga and Pilates studios. Previously these restrictions applied only to "High-Risk" group activities: Hot Yoga, Spin Classes and HIIT. Today's update now includes all group indoor fitness including yoga and pilates studios BUT Private sessions are still permitted as long as the studio has a Covid-19 safety plan in place :)

To make sure your studio is staying up to date with the regulations you can check out the government website at https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/safety/emergency-preparedness-response-recovery/covid-19-provincial-support/restrictions

And for all of my clients, please remember if you see a change or update before I do, please feel free to let me know. It is my goal for everyone to feel as safe as possible while at Pilates Barn

All individuals, places of work and businesses in B.C. must significantly reduce their level of social interactions and travel.
