A strong core is crucial before building and toning the muscles in the rest of the body. The exercises Jhoe uses will build the core while improving posture, all without incorporating planks (for those with wrist or shoulder issues). You have the option to use your own body weight, a weight, or any household object. The meditation will have you thinking about Simplicity: characteristic of Spiritual Childhood.

After the warm-up, Robin gets right to work on the upper body. Some of the poses use optional weights, but some use your own body weight to build strength and endurance. The meditation will have you contemplating the Simplicity of Mary.

Stretching and core strengthening exercises are the two best ways to keep your back healthy and feeling good. The exercises in this class are meant to strengthen and improve flexibility and mobility in the muscles that support your lower back. The Scripture and prayers will have you contemplating Simplicity: and St. Clare.

This class was designed to release tension in the body. As you move slowly through the postures, the parasympathetic nervous system will activate, which helps the body rest, heal, and restore balance. You will leave the class feeling calm and refreshed.
