In this mind-body class, participants develop and improve true core strength, stability and control. Exercises are selected to challenge and improve mobility and stabilization through the core and the spine. We will work on improving posture, re-programming faulty movement patterns, while adding flexibility and movement efficiency.  

While taking Pilates, clients gain muscle strength, joint stability, and they improve their posture and flexibility while working hard on their core muscles. The low back regains strength and many mobility issues are resolved. 

STOTT Pilates exercises are performed on a mat using your own body weight to build core strength and lean and toned muscle. No prior Pilates experience required, beginners welcome. 

What to bring: Pilates mat or two yoga mats, bottle of water.

In this four hour workshop with Indigenous artist, Clark Morrissett, you will learn the concepts of the Seven Sacred Teachings and Virtues of Indigenous cultures. Our focus will be Woodland Art – its traditions, imagery, style, and artists. We will pay tribute to the work of the trailblazing Indigenous artist Norval Morrisseau and the members of The Professional Native Indian Artists Inc. We will discover the role of animals in Woodland art, and the meaning of symbols in the paintings. Participants will create a acrylic painting in the Woodlands style to take home. 

About the instructor, Clark Morrissett is a proud Métis man who was born and raised in Winnipeg. He has a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts from the University of Manitoba. He draws inspiration from both traditional and contemporary art.

Clark believes art can build bridges towards better understanding of Indigenous heritage, art, and traditions.
