We
welcome you to join us in our yoga classes! Our Yoga programs start up every
month of the year as weekly or twice weekly class attendance programs. In the
summer we have weekday drop-in outdoor Yoga classes when weather permits (no
classes are held on statutory holidays).
Students may drop in to most of our classes early in the month, pay for the month-long program or buy a punch pass. Classes are 60minutes in length. Students are encouraged, for maximum benefit, to commit to a full three months of yoga classes to give their bodies a chance to appreciate Yoga’s effects.
Classes are held Monday to Friday mornings and evenings. Please contact us directly at 250-390-9223 or at helen@axxess-health.com for current and updated class schedules.
*Create your own “closed class” by organizing yourself and six friends at a time that is convenient to you and your group.
*Are you an elementary or high school teacher in the Nanaimo, Nanoose, Parksville or Qualicum public school districts? Call us and let us bring yoga into your school!! Our yoga classes help teachers relax and regroup at the beginning or end of their teaching day (special rates for schools and gated communities).

We welcome you to join our 30-minute Pilates for Beginners classes! Each program runs for four weeks and we start at the beginning of each month (no classes in June, July or August). We cover 18 safe Pilates exercises that are all conducted on a mat with no additional equipment. The intent of the Pilates program is to give students sufficient training in four sessions so they develop and practice their own daily Pilates program at home. Each week builds upon the exercises learned in the previous class and are practiced through the week so drop ins are not permitted. Handouts and audio recordings are available to reinforce class instruction and encourage home practice.
Classes are held Monday to Friday mornings or evenings. Please contact us directly at 250-390-9223 or at helen@axxess-health.com for current and updated class schedules.
We welcome you to join our 90 minute ASAP Fitness classes. Each program runs for seven weeks and we start every second month. Students receive and work from a workbook that guides them through a seven week comprehensive training program designed to give the best results in the shortest time. The intent of the ASAP fitness program is to give students sufficient training in seven sessions so that they develop and practice their own daily fitness program conveniently at home and gain the confidence to join a gym should that be their goal.
Classes are held Monday to Friday mornings or evenings. Please contact us directly at 250-390-9223 or at helen@axxess-health.com for current and updated class schedules.
On Friday mornings, when student enrollment warrants, we have an advanced or
accelerated level of yoga leading to and including Ashtanga styles of flow yoga.

Student teachers are welcome to discuss their program of study and teach a segment of a yoga class.
