A reminder that Moving Spirit will be CLOSED for Remembrance Day tomorrow, Tuesday, November 11th.

We will be taking this day to pause, reflect and remember those who served, and continue to serve, so that we may have peace and freedom. Remembrance Day is a moment to honour their sacrifices and courage.

We can reflect not only on the past, but also on the ongoing importance of nurturing peace and understanding in our turbulent world.

🌸 Remembrance Day ceremonies will be held in North Vancouver at the Victoria Park Cenotaph and at Cates Park.

👀👀 Check out some of these great shots - highlights from our 'New Beginnings' Breast Cancer fundraising event held October 23. This special evening was co-hosted by Moving Spirit, Coast Outdoors and Diane's Lingerie with InspireHealth. Our featured speaker for the event was Olympic kayaker and breast cancer survivor Kamini Jain.

At Moving Spirit Pilates, we see firsthand the power of community, hope, and support in every healing journey. We were honoured to contribute to the Canadian Cancer Society knowing that funds raised will fuel life-changing research, compassionate support services, and advocacy for people affected by cancer across Canada.

If you were part of this event in any way, if you purchased a ticket, made a donation, spread the word or cheered us on - thank you for joining us in making a meaningful difference; helping to create brighter futures, new beginnings, and stronger communities for everyone walking the cancer path.

We think the pictures say it all! 💗

🌟 Cadillac play on a Friday!

Whether you call it a Cadillac or a Trapeze Table, there are so many different ways to work with this wonderful piece of Pilates apparatus. The equipment makes it possible for us support or challenge movement in literally hundreds of different ways.

Here we have a version of the iconic Pilates Hundred exercise, and the Push Through. What are your favourites? ♥️

Welcome November!

Our theme of the month in the studio is 'release'. The falling leaves (and rain) can serve as a reminder that letting go, while not always easy, can open the door to ease, flow, and possibility.

We all carry things that weigh us down ... tensions in the body, habits that no longer serve us, thoughts that keep us stuck. At Moving Spirit, we’re exploring what it means to release, both on and off the mat.

In the studio, release might look like softening unnecessary effort, breathing with more ease, or moving with a sense of spaciousness. Beyond the mat, it might mean loosening your grip on old patterns, beliefs, or expectations that no longer align with who you are.

As you move through November, get curious about what release means for you. Where could you invite in more softness, space, or freedom? We’d love to partner with you in this exploration ... one breath and one movement at a time.

We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
