Yoga
We offer yoga classes to the community, to those in therapy, and to those who are in EMDR therapy here at True North Healing Center. There are many benefits to yoga as it increases mindfulness, min-body connection, and decreases stress.
Group Fitness Classes
We offer group fitness classes to the community, to those in therapy, and to those who are in EMDR therapy here at True North Healing Center. The benefit of group fitness classes is that everyone is welcome to participate in the healing of exercise. No prior exercise experience is needed, and we offer movements for all levels of fitness and capabilities.
Yoga
Yoga is a spiritual and physical practice that brings together the mind and body and increases self awareness. Through this practice, individuals gain the power of insight through looking inward for answers rather than looking to the external world. Yoga has long been used as a spiritual and physical practice to find rejuvenation and peace.
There are different forms of yoga, and here at True North Healing Center we guide the Hatha style of yoga, including Vinyassa, which connects mind, body, and breath. If you are new to yoga, we guide you through our beginner classes. We also offer intermediate classes for those who may find that suitable to their own physical yoga journey. For those who have more of an interest in the spiritual or meditative side of yoga, we offer a gentle flow where the focus is connecting with your mind, body, and breath in a delicate and nourishing way. All of our guides have been trained to lead classes with a trauma informed approach.
How can yoga be helpful to me? Over the past several years, researchers have taken an interest in how yoga impacts the mind and body. Some of the benefits include; increased self awareness, increased flexibility and balance, increased strength, support joint health, decreased anxiety, and improved cognitive functioning, to name a few. In the resource page, you can find links to several YouTube videos and research articles regarding the science and benefits of yoga as it applies to mental and physical health.

Group Fitness
Cultivating a community of healing starts with a judgment free space. We hold a safe space for everyone at all levels to exercise at their own pace, while maintaining a community atmosphere.
Whether you are new to exercising, have been out of the game for a while and just getting back in, or are routinely exercising, we have group fitness classes for every level. We offer group fitness classes that are designed to support individual goals and mobility needs, providing you with variations to accommodate injuries or increase difficulty, as needed. This allows you to take control of your fitness journey. Putting you in charge of how you push yourself, it allows you to become more attuned with yourself. All of our Fitness Instructors are trauma informed and our classes are designed with a trauma informed lens.
How can exercise be helpful to me? Many people feel the benefits of going outside for a brisk walk, but what does research say about the benefits of exercising?

On the resource section, you can find videos and research articles regarding the benefits of exercising and mental health and physical health.
