Pilates and yoga-based movement with Nickeshia Garrick
Stretch, strengthen, breathe, and move to upbeat music with Nickeshia Garrick this October.
Nickeshia returns to Jamii for three Belonging Older Adults movement workshops combining Pilates and yoga techniques in an accessible, supportive class. Participants can join seated in a chair or on their feet, with options for different levels of mobility throughout the session.
The focus is on gently activating the whole body while creating space to move at your own pace. No previous Pilates, yoga, or dance experience is needed.
Nickeshia is one of Belonging’s returning facilitators and has been part of Jamii for several years. They are a Dora Mavor Moore Award-winning and multi-nominated movement artist with over 25 years of performance experience in Tkaronto, and currently teach movement at Toronto Film School.
Registration is required for the Belonging Older Adults program. Once registered, participants can drop in to the October sessions without registering for each date separately.
Please note: there is no workshop on Tuesday, October 13.
Come as you are, find the version of each movement that works for you, and spend your Tuesday morning moving in good company.
