Welcome to Ascend Movement Studio! Our group programs aim to help you understand and optimize your movement options and strategies so you can do more of what moves you with more confidence. We aim to build strength and fitness through movement-focused exercises that will also support mobility, joint and tissue health. Fitness is a byproduct of moving well. Group programs are small, typically with a max number of participants at 6-8. Many programs include an online course and home program to support your movement practice at home. Spring programs are all about preparing for hiking, biking, running, climbing, gardening, golfing, chasing kids and grandkids and our spring programs reflect this. To learn more about the spring schedule and program details see our website: www.ascendmovement.ca. Looking for something a little more individualized?
