PILATES AND YOGA

If you’ve been wanting a movement class that feels energizing, supportive, and doable, this one is for you. Nickeshia Garrick returns to Jamii this spring to lead Belonging Older Adults movement sessions that combine Pilates and yoga techniques with upbeat music. It’s a welcoming space to stretch, strengthen, breathe, and move in community.

Across the series, participants will work with gentle strength-building and stretching that supports balance, mobility, and full-body activation. The class is designed to accommodate different mobility needs. Participants can take part seated in a chair or moving on their feet, with options to adapt throughout the session. You can come to build consistency, try something new, or simply give your body a good reset in the middle of the week.

These sessions are part of Jamii’s Belonging Older Adults program for older adults in downtown Toronto. Participants register for the program, then can drop in to any Tuesday session that works for them.

Support free community arts

Jamii’s workshops are free so that cost is never a barrier to participation. If you’re able, you can help pay it forward by donating through Jamii’s website. Your support helps keep community arts accessible and welcoming for everyone.

These workshops are open to people of all experience levels. No background in movement and dance is required. Participants are encouraged to take part in a way that feels comfortable and meaningful to them.

Workshops are free for participants. Registration is required, and space is limited.

Jamii's Belonging Older Adults workshops are sponsored by Government of Canada - New Horizons for Seniors Program, Canada Council for the Arts, Government of Ontario, and St Lawrence Neighbourhood Association.
