we wish there was something we could do 😔

Who doesn’t love a good burnout drill at the end of a workout? 🔥🔥🔥

Tell us in the comments👇which one are you choosing??

1️⃣ Isometric hold in side kick position — make sure your hip is turned all the way over!
5 second hold x 5 reps, each leg

2️⃣ Oblique crunches on the wall — the goal is to keep the neck and spine in a neutral position and let the obliques do all the work!
30-50 reps each side

3️⃣ Knee raises in a turning kick position — the movement starts at the hip. Kick it up a notch by using a prop to help focus on squeezing the calf to the hamstring
30-50 reps each side

Fresh air + mindful movement = a perfect spring Sunday afternoon 🌷☀️

We’re taking our Tai Chi Flow class outdoors — just down the street from the studio to Huddy Park! Join us for a special 60-minute experience designed to help you slow down, move intentionally, and reconnect with not only yourself, but with nature 🌳

Led by Jahan, a certified TaijiFit instructor and martial artist, this class is welcoming to all experience levels and includes:
✔️ Guided Tai Chi principles + footwork
✔️ Gentle, flowing movement
✔️ Insight into Tai Chi philosophy

Often called “meditation in motion,” Tai Chi is known to support balance, mobility, stress-relief, and overall well-being. No experience needed, just wear comfortable clothing and come ready to flow 🌀

⚠️ Important: Because this class is being held off-site, pre-booking is required. Please reserve your spot in advance!

🚗 Free parking is available next to the park or in the parking garage across the street

☔️ if weather conditions are unfavorable that day, class will be held at the studio as normal.
