NEW YOGA CLASS!
Advanced Yoga
Mondays, 4:00p-5:30p
taught by Michelle Anderson

This class is for students with an existing intermediate or advanced yoga practice who wish to challenge themselves physically, learn sanskrit chants, and further their exploration of breathing and meditation.  Each class will include themed postures of all types, a detailed pranayama, chanting, or meditation practice, and savasana.

Coming Soon:
There has been popular demand for an earlier morning yoga class at Movement, so starting Monday, October 4th we will have a 6:30 am class on our calendar taught by Jon Hererra!
Start your day with us!

September is full of additions and changes as we prep for the approaching fall season!  An advanced yoga class, a fresh approach to fitness complimented by motivated new instructors, and a program for people looking for climbing partners, are all on the horizon as we get geared up for the cooler months.

She also has been involved with Movement since we opened the doors. We welcome her years of experience and practice and hope that you will enjoy her influence!

Also, Brent Miller, who teaches the popular Saturday Vinyasa class, will be taking over the Vinyasa Yoga on Thursday evening (6:15p to 7:30p).

Lastly, we are excited to add Gary Gianetti as a new fitness and cycling instructor.  He teaches high energy cycling classes that are sure to get you going in the morning (Thursdays 6:30a – 7:15a).  He also has years of experience with functional fitness and he is excited to bring a new and fresh dynamic to the fitness department!

What this means for Movement members and guests:

**The gym will be closed and all classes will be cancelled on June 12th and 13th, but we encourage you to come watch or volunteer.**

ALL CLIMBING AND NORMAL CLASS SCHEDULES WILL RESUME ON  MONDAY, JUNE 14TH

We hope that you share in our excitement about hosting this event and will be able to attend. If you have never participated in an event like this, it is a fun, high energy competition that is great to be a part of. Please feel free to call or email with any questions you have.

Several years ago, the International Federation of Sport Climbing created parameters for a regulated Speed Climbing Wall for competitions. During construction, Rockwerx (our wall manufacturer) worked diligently with us so that we could have a wall set to the IFSC specifications for Speed Climbing in competitions… and for the first time, we have put it up!

This is the FIRST AND ONLY Speed Wall set to IFSC standards in the US!

The arch wall converts into the Speed Wall! We have put the wall up for the upcoming USA Climbing SCS Divisional Championship next weekend!

Until Thursday, June 10th, there are routes up the wall for everyone to enjoy. Speed routes will be put up on the 10th and then more added after the 13th.

After the competition, the Speed Wall will stay intact for one setting rotation, at which point we will disassemble it so everyone can once again enjoy the arch.

Come try the wall out for yourself and then watch the best Speed Climbers in our Division battle it out during the competition!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED for the USA Climbing SCS Divisional Championship on Saturday, June 12th and Sunday, June 13th! Positions range from belayer to judge to isolation monitor and more! Interested? Please email us so we can sign you up!
