💜February's Loving Kindness Yoga Nidra Workshop 💜

Join Amanda on Saturday February 11th from 1-2:30pm for a Loving-Kindness focused Yoga Nidra practice.

During  the practice, you will rest comfortably in corpse pose (Savasana), as  Amanda's brings you through five layers of the self, known as Pancha  Maya Kosha. These steps will put you into a calm and restful state of  consciousness where you will experience deep relaxation.

Yoga  Nidra holds immense benefits for all those who struggle to let go, those  who suffer from lack of sleep, trauma, burn-out, and anxiety. It is  also highly beneficial and holds great healing power for anyone who  wants to experience a deeper sense of peace and re-connect more  profoundly with themselves.

By the end of this workshop,  participants will enter the deep states of conscious relaxation, by  systematically moving through a practice of awareness from our external  world to the inner world.

Workshop includes: Guided 90-minute Yoga Nidra session, rose quartz self-love stone, and palo santo.

Date: Saturday February 11th, 1-2:30pm

5 Reasons to Roll, Restore, and Meditate More

Sometimes you’ve just got to slow everything down.

When your life is racing full-speed ahead, so is your mind. Restorative yoga classes, including our Gentle Flow, Roll Out and Meditate and Restore, help provide that physical and mental balance needed to reduce stress and promote recovery.

Here are five reasons to spend a little extra time opening up and breathing in the benefits of our nourishing and restorative yoga classes.

1. Better Flexibility

Think you have to “work” to get a benefit from your workout? Think again! While all forms of yoga help make you bendier over time, a regular practice of restorative yoga (think our Roll Out, Meditate and Restore, and Gentle Flow classes) helps you explore what happens when you release tension in a more gentle and passive way. Long, supported poses, like those held in our Meditate and Restore, help your body to stretch, soften, and move deeper into those muscles and joints thanks to yoga postures held with the support of props including our blocks, bolsters and blankets.

2. Decreased Muscle Soreness

If you live with intermittent pain or simply have tired and sore muscles from the previous days workout, restorative yoga can help you relax and restore your muscles so that pain may be relieved and your natural mobility is restored. After a workout, like a run or ride, muscles, and joints become sore because of the build-up of waste products such as lactic acid. Rolling Out after a workout can help reduce delayed-onset muscle soreness, helping to eliminate those next day aches and feelings of stiffness. So the faster those exhausted muscles can receive adequate support for recovery, the faster they can rebuild and get you on your feet for that next workout.

3. Quiet Your Mind

Our restorative classes can be a calming hug for not just your body, but for your overstimulated mind. When we calm the mind, we reduce (or even mute) the hundreds of thoughts that are constantly running through our heads. Slowing your mind gives your whole-being restorative experience - mind, body, and spirit. And as a result, you immediately feel more calm, centred, and present.

4. Decreased Risk of Injury

Restorative yoga increases circulation throughout the body by promoting increased blood flow, especially during a Roll Out class. Better circulation means a better range of motion and more effective body movements.

And just like stretching, rolling using our Yoga Tune-Up Balls can be integral to injury prevention, increasing blood flow, decreasing soft-tissue density and relaxing tight muscles. Muscles that move more effectively and within a natural range of motion are less prone to injury and will keep you on your feet longer.

5. Good Self-Care

Restorative yoga is a great way to put yourself first. Life can be complicated and stressful, and we could all use a stress-busting tool like yoga to soothe our minds and bodies. Yoga brings harmony to your soul and elevates your relationships with others and yourself by keeping your overall mood and behaviour in check. Relieve stress, find a sense of calm, and use your yoga practice to support the healthiest, happiest and best version of you. Join us Monday at 8:30pm for Roll Out, Tuesday at 7:45pm for Meditate and Restore, and Thursday at 7:30pm for Gentle Flow.

New Year, New Classes, New Membership Options

All the #KardiaLove to those who have been moving with us over this past year, from our super sweaty summer outdoor rides, virtual strength and yoga, track workouts at Riverdale East, cheering on our running family as they raced the Pride Run, STWM 10K, and the Berlin Marathon, and we can't forget the super cute puppy yoga. Yeah some times were tough, but once again we pulled through together as a crew, proving once again that community isn't cancelled. Special shout out to those new crew members who joined us online or in studio this morning to start 2022 the sweaty way, filled with Kardia vibes. Whether it's your first workout, or your 500th, we're on this journey together and we've also got room in this fitness family.

We're making a few changes as we roll into 2022 including more online and studio classes, the return of our morning Cycle45 (studio and virtual), the return of our virtual Meditate and Restore (aka onesie yoga, aka sleepy time yoga), and a new price offering for those looking to save little, while making the commitment to move monthly with a new 4-class monthly auto-renew membership.

• Starting Monday (yes, tomorrow) you can start you week in high gear with our 7:30am virtual and studio Cycle45: Decade Dash. This 45-minute mixed ride will have you spinning through the decades with only throwback tracks.

• Meditate and Restore returns January 11th at 7:45pm, online only. So pull all those covers off your bed and grab all the couch cushions for the most relaxing and calming yoga class ever.

• To help you make a 2022 commitment to yourself, at a great price, check out our new 4-class Monthly Membership on auto-renew for only $72. That's only $18 a class, good for both studio and online classes. Classes can't be carried over - so if you don't use it you lose it.

• If you are planning on joining us for 6 or more times a month, then our Unlimited Membership is still the best deal we offer. Unlimited yoga, cycling, and strength classes for only $139. Both memberships can be cancelled any time after the second month.

As a reminder, COVID precautions are in place when joining us in person. Check out what we're doing to keep you safe be clicking HERE.

I look forward to connecting with everyone again, either in person or online. 2022 - we got this!

Happy New Year Kardia crew,

Heather

Reduced Class Sizes and Other Ways We're Keeping You Safe

Hey Kardia Crew,

Heather here. I'm sure at this point in the weekend, you've heard the news of capacity limits for gyms.

Before I get into the details of everything we're doing to keep you safe, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Thank you for your patience through all of these changes and most importantly, thank you for your ongoing support. Being a small business owner, these past 2 years has been tough, but with your help we've proved to be tougher. These last few months have returned our studio to it's glory. We were reunited through our movie rides, cycle rave, and puppy yoga, brought together through our crew run socials, and we've lived and breathed that sense of community and belonging back into #KardiaQQHQ, proving together that community isn't cancelled.

We've added even more virtual classes so you can join us from home, and have reduced our class sizes to create more distance between our crew members. Read about all those details below, including accessing 7-days FREE of our on-demand platform.

Please connect personally if you have any questions. Send me an email at Hello@KardiaAthletica.com

Classes

Registration for classes will be limited to one week in advance and our late cancel policy will be in effect for STUDIO classes. If you are unable to attend your class you MUST cancel 3 hours prior to the start time of your class or you will lose your class credit, and if you're on a monthly unlimited membership, a late cancellation fee of $10 will be charged to you account.

If you are feeling sick, please connect with us as soon as possible to remove you from class without penalty if it is within the three hour late cancel limit.

We've added even more virtual classes to our schedule for those of you wanting to join us from home. Otherwise our schedule remains the same with both "Virtual" and "Studio" classes identified.

• VIRTUAL: These classes will occur online. You will be emailed a weblink and password prior to class.

• STUDIO: These in person classes will occur in studio. Spaces will be very limited. Please see the considerations for in studio below.

• ON-DEMAND: Access our library of almost 200 on-demand strength, yoga, meditation, and cycling workouts at www.Kardia.vhx.tv. With various styles and lengths, you can enjoy these classes - anytime, anywhere.

Your Safety In Studio

Please keep your distance when entering the studio. The yoga room floor is marked for where your mat will be placed. Please follow the signage and directions when in studio. One person will be permitted at the hand sanitizer table at the entrance and one person in the front desk area. We will be using contact-less check-in (no need to touch the Ipad), so check in will be quick. Aligned with Provincial and National policy, masks will be required in common areas of the studio. Once settled on your mat or bike you will be able to remove your mask for your workout if you wish.

We encourage everyone to make it a habit to wash your hands or use hand sanitizer when you come into the studio and after class as well. This step alone is the biggest thing we can do to prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria that can cause illness. For your convenience, we also offer hand sanitizer throughout the studio.

Disinfect! We always supply disinfecting wipes in each of our studio spaces to ensure you can feel confident in keeping your own space clean and germ free. The wipes we provide are a commercial-grade "quaternary disinfectant cleaner". Please use these wipes before and after class on bikes as a first level of cleaning. All floors, high touch areas, and bikes will be cleaned thoroughly following every class.

BYOMat, Towel, and Water Bottle. We will no longer be providing community yoga mats or towels. Please bring your own mats, bottles, and towels to class with you. Mats and bottles are available for purchase in studio.

As per government restrictions, we will offer 50% reduced class sizes. Our maximum number of participants in the yoga room will be 11 and in the cycling room will be 8. Some cycling classes will take place in the yoga room capped at 11 participants. Please check out the numbers prior to your sign up and join classes with attendance numbers that suit your comfort zone.

Those who have been around before we opened will be aware of the "drama" associated with our HVAC system. (Recap - it's new, huge, super powerful, and was a lot of work to install). As a result of this monstrous air system, we are very quickly able to turn air around the studio (within 15 seconds). This constant change of inside air with fresh outside air has been proven to help with types of contractible diseases. We will not be using fans in studio.

Most importantly, out of kindness to your studio family, please stay home if you feel unwell or have any symptoms.

Wishing you a safe and happy holidays,

Heather and your KARDIA Studio Team

Introducing Dione Mason

Our Kardia team is growing and we are so excited to welcome to our crew long time Toronto cycling instructor and awarded group fitness leader Dione Mason.

Kardia owner Heather chatted with Dione and we’re excited to share a little more about who this new family member is.

Heather: Dione, it’s so great to have you as part of our team. We’ve know each other for almost 8 years, through working at other studios, and through our work with Canada Running Series and your own race the Toronto Carnival Run.

So, what’s your favourite way to sweat?

Dione: I love to run, because running is complete freedom and non judgement. I love to dance so I can shake my beautiful booty!

Heather: So with running we’re often talking about goals and goal setting. What are some goals you’re currently working on?

Dione: I'm a list person, so I have too many goals that I will likely not be able to achieve in my lifetime. My overall life goal is to experience as many things as I can, learn as much as I can and continually evolve to become a better human being before the lights turn out on this thing called life.

Heather: I’m absolutely a list person too. Last question, now what can our Kardia community expect in your class?

Dione: My number one goal in every class is to make the class the best part of their day. Expect to be treated with respect, professionalism, inspiration and motivation. Expect to feel like you can walk taller, grow stronger and feel empowered to conquer whatever life challenges come your way.

Join Dione Thursday nights for Cycle45 at 5:30pm and 6:30pm. Sign up at www.KardiaAthletica.com.

Kardia 🤝 New Instructor Tina Sanders

Here we grow again! With the reopening of our studio and increased class sizes we are excited to introduce the newest member to our instructor team, Tina Sanders.

Tina in her own words:

I have been exploring my own personal yoga practise for over ten years, practising at several gyms and studios throughout the Greater Toronto Area. In the last year and a half I began to explore online yoga classes from teachers around the globe and became a certified yoga teacher through Awakening Yoga Academy. I love learning from others and exploring my own practise throughout various types of movement. I believe that yoga can be beneficial in many ways, and I want to be able to help others feel confident and strong while growing in their personal practise. I love to teach purposeful and challenging creative classes that incorporate breathwork and classical yoga asana to increase flexibility, strength, and mental focus. I have experienced the many benefits of yoga in my own life and want to motivate others to find the same passion in their yoga practise and overall wellness.

Kardia owner Heather sat down with Tina and we’re excited to share a little more about who this new family member is.

Heather: Tina, it’s so great to have you as part of our team. We’ve only known each other for a few months now, so I’m excited to learn more about you as I know our community is. So, what’s your favourite way to sweat?

Tina: I love cardio! Hitting the gym, listening to a good playlist and spending as much time as possible on the bike or elliptical, I love the endorphins you get from a good sweat. I also love hot yoga and HIIT workouts.

Heather: Cardio is always my go to as well, I don’t think that’s a surprise. What are some goals you’re currently working on?

Tina: I would love to run a half marathon next year, that is the running goal I am working towards. I would also love to participate in an event like the Ride to Conquer Cancer. In terms of my personal & professional goals I can proudly say that I am achieving so many goals in my yoga practise that I set for myself at the beginning of the year, and I am always up for a challenge! I would also love to teach at a yoga retreat one day. I have many hobbies and work full time in the legal field, so I like to keep myself busy; yoga is essential for me to stay centered!

Heather: Running goals? Now you’re talking my language, this community will get you to the start line for sure! Last Question, What can people expect in your class?

Tina: A yoga flow class that will incorporate the breath. I like to feature themed classes and sometimes we will work towards a goal pose. Get ready for curated playlists and creative sequences to encourage exploration through movement.

Join Tina Sunday mornings for Sunrise Yoga Flow and Intention Setting in studio and online at 9:30am starting November 7th.

Introducing Melissa Tung

Our Kardia team is growing and we are so excited to welcome to our crew long time Toronto yoga instructor and mother Melissa Tung.

Melissa has been teaching yoga based movement and meditation in Toronto, since 2010. Like Kardia's offerings, she believes a variety of activities are key to overall fitness. Her classes guide students to where inner awareness meets outward physicality by mixing modalities and flowing progressively toward challenges.

Kardia owner Heather sat down with Melissa and we’re excited to share a little more about who this new family member is.

Heather: Melissa, it’s so great to have you as part of our team. We’ve know each other for almost 10 years, before I was a certified yoga teacher. So wild. I’m excited to learn more about you as I know our community is.

So, what’s your favourite way to sweat?

Melissa: A long run - but an invigorating yoga class, a tough weights session or an energetic spin all are close to my heart.

Heather: I don’t know if I knew you were a runner - I love that! So with running we’re always talking about goals and goal setting. What are some goals you’re currently working on?

Melissa: Yes, goals are so important.
Being active with longevity in mind is my fitness goal. That said, I want to surprise myself and love a challenge, so you'll see me pushing as hard as I can while still having fun!
I have two personal goals. One is to inspire by being a model of what I share, and the second is to fully appreciate the value of my experiences and opportunities.
Professionally, my goal is for students to discover more about themselves through physical achievements, mindful capacity or confidence.

Heather: I love that, and I love the professional goal for our community too. Last question, now what can our Kardia community expect in your class?

Melissa: People can expect a flowing full body practice. I like to add in novel variations or an interesting pose, but emphasize the work up towards that moment as the "real practice".

Join Melissa OUTDOORS Wednesday nights from 6:30-7:30pm for our NEW Intermediate Yoga Flow. Sign up at www.KardiaAthletica.com.

3 Tips To Keep Cool When Training In The Heat

Whether you’re joining us for our free crew run, outdoor yoga flow, or our outdoor ride, it's important to take care when the temperatures rise. When joining us outdoors use these three tips to feel your best and enjoy your workout.

1. Drink plenty of fluids. Dehydration is a key factor when working out in the warmth. Help your body sweat and cool down by staying well-hydrated with water. Drink before, during, and after your workout.

2. Dress appropriately. Lightweight, loose fitting clothing helps sweat evaporate and keeps you cooler. Avoid dark colours, which can absorb the heat. If possible wear light colours and look for moisture whicking fabrics.

3. Accessorize your outfit! Don't forget accessories like a hat, sun glasses, and sunscreen and once again, your water bottle!
