Fall & Winter: Indoor Strength & Balance

Indoor Strength and Balance is back for the fall and winter seasons! This ever-popular class is led by Tim Begley (B.Kin UBC), an experienced kinesiologist here on Mayne Island, and is sponsored by the Mayne Island Health Centre Association (MIHCA). Come build strength, balance, and confidence while staying active and making social connections in a welcoming environment.

What Participants Say

Exercising has never been my favorite, exercising as in classes, but I’ve certainly found Tim’s classes have brought up my level of consciousness. Classes have been great and encouraged more at home stretching etc. I’m certainly looking forward to the next class.
