Description
SCS: Strengthen, Condition & Stretch
The aim of this project is to host monthly SCS classes for 12 months in the evening for all women especially targeted at (working) mothers and perimenopausal women. Inclusive of women who are suffering from health conditions that may come from age such as osteoarthritis.
The expectation here is not for the women to already be an Olympic champion, instead its an approachable environment where we can slowly and safely build strength and flexibility and promote healing.
The unique aspect of these classes is that many of the exercises will be done as partners to deepen stretches and form friendships, connection and laughter. The exercises taught can be taken home so that they can practise the exercises with their partners, children and friends.
After motherhood and during menopause, women's bodies undergo many changes. The aim of SCS is to be a safe space where women can share what their struggles and physical goals are. We want to gently enable them to build confidence into their bodies knowing that age is just a number and that our bodies are capable of achieving what we like via compassion, love and support.
