October can be a stressful month: the kids are getting homework again, their extracurriculars are ramping up, and Thanksgiving and Halloween are approaching fast. Stay calm, cool, and collected through it all with one of these stress-reducing classes:
- Yoga
Studies show that this soothing practice has tons of therapeutic benefits. We have a whole range of different styles of yoga, including classes designed to promote flexibility, those that focus on releasing tension and allowing the mind and body to connect, and those that emphasize more vigorous, cardio-intensive movements that will leave you with a rush of stress-alleviating endorphins.
- Tai Chi
Unwind after work with this calming form of meditative movement. Our Tai Chi classes help you grow healthier in both body and mind by focusing on posture and breathing as you move through flowing, dance-like motions. Many of our centres offer Tai Chi classes in the evening, so you can de-stress after a long day and then enjoy your zen for the rest of the night.
- AquaFit
Aerobic exercise reduces stress by improving circulation and blood flow to the brain. Water-based cardio offers the added benefit of distraction: whereas solo workouts on machines can feel repetitive and tedious, our AquaFit instructors guide you through fast-paced routines full of variety.
All of these group fitness classes allow you to combine your workout with some fun social time – another proven stress-buster. Check out our schedule to see which one you can try today!
