Enjoy the freedom to explore your own capacity and potential in this unique Pole Dance Choreography class that brings in the spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical.

To wrap up the class, we'll stretch out the body before finishing up with some breathwork. All my classes include a metaphysical twist, so expect some woo woo stuff to help you play with moving and releasing emotional energy trapped within your body! Bring: An open mind, a water bottle, a pair of tight-fitting shorts/sports bra and baggy layers (sweat pants and socks) to keep up body temperature during warm-up and cool-downs.

5.0 Dude, I Didn’t Even Know What to Expect 🤯
dude . . . for real, where do I start here? I’ve never done dance or martial arts, so I had no idea what to expect walking into Mestre Jamaika’s Capoeira class. All I knew was that I’d seen him perform before, and it was the most unique movement I’d ever witnessed—I knew I had to try it. The moment I walked in, I was greeted by so many welcoming faces. The vibe is unreal—it’s full of love, warmth, and a real sense of community. You don’t just show up to learn Capoeira; you show up to make friends. Mestre Jamaika’s instruction is super clear, and even though I felt awkward and out of my element at first, he helped me settle in quickly, even in a larger class. He’s patient, intuitive, and seriously skilled at what he does. He knows how to guide you without pressure, and you can feel how much he cares about your growth. If you’re looking to experience something totally new, learn from someone genuine, and open your eyes to another culture, Mestre Jamaika is the guy to know. It’s been an amazing way to move my body and explore something I never thought I’d do!

Smoothie Workshop by Whirled Juice
Come make smoothies and smoothie bowls together. Whirled Juice began as an idea of taking the smoothie from the US to Japan, but now has a broader vision of equipping all households to be able to craft healthy, nutritious, and most delicious smoothies and smoothie bowls right from home. After intros, we'll use the first half hour to discuss our background with smoothies and personal flavour combo favorites. Each guest is welcome to bring any ingredients or toppings they'd like to share with the group (e.g. bee pollen). We'll discuss some of the ingredient combos available for the day. For the next 45 minutes, we'll work on blending and then decorating our bowls. We'll also touch a bit on presentation and food photography. The final minutes of class we'll be relaxing while we enjoy our creations as we take in some music and scenery. Each guest will leave with a new level of wonder for natural and raw ingredients, from fruits and vegetables, to nuts and berries.
