There is never a time quite like the present to try something new, especially coming into a new year where collectively, we are more than ready for change! If the world isnโt quite ready to give us that change, maybe itโs time to shake things up in our own lives.
Thinking about starting a new year with a new commitment to health is nothing new. But what if our workouts could look different this year? Working out doesnโt have to be monotonous or routine, and it doesnโt even have to feel like working out. It can be new, vibrant, exciting, and fun, all while transforming your health and confidence. These local studios offer a variety of unique exercise classes for all ages, abilities, and interests. The only thing you need is a willingness to try something new and make a change.
Aerial Yoga
You may be familiar with yoga, but this takes traditional yoga to new heights, literally! Be Yoga and Wellness in Burlington offers a zero-gravity yoga experience with the help of a silk hammock attached to the ceiling. You donโt need to be experienced in yoga or a Cirque du Soleil performer to attend these classes where you will learn, improve, have fun, and develop incredible strength. Are you ready to fly?
Pole Classes
There are many stereotypes associated with pole โdancingโ, but have you ever considered that it could actually be a full-body workout that combines resistance training, cardio, strength, and flexibility? This is an incredibly fun and active way to build your confidence in a way that doesnโt feel like you are working. Check out Yoga and Pole in Oakville for a complete schedule of all level classes.

There is a new dance workout raising the โbarreโ and it brings new life and energy to traditional ballet. Barre Life in Oakville combines ballet, pilates, and yoga in a unique class that utilizes a ballet barre and resistance bands. Several varieties of classes exist, each targeting slightly different things, available for all levels of experience.
Capoeira
Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics, and music.

We continue to face a world that is unknown, so with a new year upon us, perhaps embracing the unknown with newfound confidence could be empowering. These studios are unique, but they share a few things in common; they are locally owned, inspiring places ready to welcome you as you try something new, focus on your health, have fun and make a change!
