Functional Movement Screen
The Functional Movement Screen is an assessment to document movement patterns that are key to normal function. Assessing these patterns, the FMS identifies functional limitations and asymmetries. These are issues that can reduce the effects of functional training and physical conditioning and distort body awareness. The FMS generates the Functional Movement Screen Score, which is used to target problems and track progress. This scoring system is directly linked to the most beneficial corrective exercises to restore mechanically sound movement patterns. The FMS score is used to track progress and identify exercises that will be most effective to restore proper movement and build strength. Please contact our Fitness Supervisor: John Florkiewicz, john@fraservalleyrec.org for more information and to schedule an appointment.

Stations will accommodate two people so bring a friend and workout together. Water bottle and towel are recommended.
Yoga for Every Body:
In this class we will blend traditional Hatha and Vinyasa yoga. Yoga is for every type of body and every person who has the desire to connect their physical body and spirit through movement and deep stretching. We will explore slow flow and the twists and turns of yoga in relation to life and our personal intentions. As we move through Vinyasa flow, continuous movements will help you stretch each muscle and strengthen it simultaneously. This increases your range of motion as well as mobility. We will sync our breathing with our movements, bringing fresh oxygen to fuel and loosen up all muscles. When the muscles are flexed, the stress is released and reduced from the ligaments, joints, and tendons. This prevents injuries, tears, and muscle pulls. This is an inclusive yoga class and I encourage all levels to join. When on our mats, we are all yogis, finding the spaces between our asanas. Props will be used to deepen our practice and for gentle modifications.
