This six-week series will change the way you think of yoga. It will expand your knowledge of alignment, postures, meditation, and breathwork, and teach you to use them to create your own flow. You'll leave the series with the freedom to curiously explore your own inspired movement, both on and off the mat. The Freedom Flow Series is designed to take you from wherever you're at now, into love, playfulness, and creativity. Learn how to trust yourself and completely surrender into your body - LOVE your body. This juicy series is completely inspired by the practice of yoga. It's had such a huge impact on both Cassie and Tamara, and we're so excited to bring this to Kelowna. Whether you’re brand new to yoga or have been practicing for years, you’re sure to leave with a new love for your practice. Join us post-movement for journalling, tea & conscious discussion, as well as in an online Facebook group for continuous support. Classes will take place every Tuesday evening from 7-9pm from April 4th - May 9th.

Colours enter through the eye and end up in the heart, where they change the way we feel about what we see. Christine and Francine have been working together for years in the intensely creative field of early childhood education; where creativity and imagination are unleashed by the budding young minds. Reaching into the palette of possibility and placing each stroke on canvas is a way to display the artist’s relationship with the world of colour. This exposition is expressing pure emotion. M-F: 10am to 4pm. (closed from 1-1:30PM)

Join Jazzercise Kelowna and MOGA for a fun Latin themed Dance Mixx class followed by a drink at Baxter's on cuatro de Mayo! Class will be an hour, including fun dance cardio followed by strengthening/toning/stretching. Be sure to bring clean indoor-only athletic shoes. After class all are welcome to join us (sweaty clothes and all) for a casual ladies' night at Baxter's Pub (margarita and nachos anyone?). Women only please. Free for Members and New Customers, $15 Drop-Ins Note: Cinco de Mayo is a holiday that has its origins in celebrating a Mexican battle victory but actually isn't really a big deal in Mexico. Somehow it came to be a good excuse to drink margaritas and eat Mexican food in the rest of North America. This seems like as good of an excuse as any to do some fun Latin (not only Mexican) routines. Although not exactly a traditional celebration, we could certainly use a good workout to go with those nachos and margaritas, right? 😊💃🏻🎉
