Hi %FIRSTNAME%,

🌞 July Newsletter – Thank You for an Amazing Season!

As another season comes to a close, I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you & Mähsi Cho

From September through June, you chose to show up—not just for exercise, but for yourself. Whether you joined me every week, dropped in when you could, or followed along online, thank you for making your health and well-being a priority.

Together we practiced yoga, built strength, worked on balance, shared laughs, and challenged ourselves. We even spent plenty of time jumping for bone density! Who knew we'd become such pros at bouncing around? Between surviving the Thunderstruck challenge and keeping up with the Macarena, we definitely proved that fitness can be both effective and a little bit hilarious.

I've included a few photos from our final June classes. Looking through them reminds me that these classes are about so much more than movement. They're about friendship, encouragement, and choosing to invest in your health and longevity, one class at a time.

🌿 Summer Plans

While many of the in-person classes are taking a well-deserved summer break, I'm hoping to keep us connected online.

I'm planning to offer:

• Gentle Yoga (30 minutes) on Mondays, with a recording available afterward if you can't join live.

• 30 min Menopause Muscle Mon & Fri

One important note about online classes:

To make each live class sustainable, a minimum of three participants is required for the class to run. The wonderful part is that there's no maximum, so no one has to miss out. If you have a friend, neighbour, or family member who has been thinking about joining, summer is a great time to invite them along.

To help me plan the schedule that works best, I'll be including a short survey with this newsletter. If you have a minute to complete it, I'd truly appreciate it. Your feedback will help shape what I offer this summer.

✨ A New Adventure

I also have some exciting personal news.

This summer I'll be beginning a new and very meaningful role as a Hän Language Teacher in Training with my First Nation, Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in.

Learning, preserving, and sharing our language is something that means a great deal to me, and I'm incredibly honored to have this opportunity. It's a new adventure, and I'll be balancing this work alongside my fitness and yoga classes.

I'll share much more once I've settled into my new online position, but I wanted to let you know where some of my summer energy will be going. I'm excited to share this journey with you.

❤️ Until We Meet Again...

I hope your summer is filled with sunshine, fresh air, time with the people you love, and plenty of movement—whether that's walking, gardening, paddling, swimming, golfing, or simply stretching each morning.

I'd love to hear how you're spending your summer. If you're out on an adventure, trying something new, or simply enjoying a quiet walk, send me a photo or hit reply and tell me about it. Staying connected is one of my favorite parts of this community.

Also, stay tuned for next week—I’ll be sharing a couple of simple summer movement challenges to help you keep your strength and energy going all season long.

Thank you again for trusting me to be part of your health journey. Watching your strength improve and your commitment to yourself has been one of the greatest joys of my work.

Have a wonderful summer, and I hope to see you online soon!

With gratitude,

Denise
