 "Sain Esprit" fitness program is the most variable part of the our Weight Loss Program and developed individually for every one in the Program:

1. Llight morning exercises short cardio, stretch, finishing with yoga's asanas (if you get used to make your main fitness in the morning we will make an adjustment in the Program for you);

2. Afternoon fitness as a main workout of the day (unless you prefer it other way) consists of:
First: cardio one of :
  • walk: as intensive as you can; OR
  •  jogging / running, OR
  •  stair climbing, OR
  • workout with mini-step.
Second: Stretch and some exercises for equilibrium;

3. And Special exercises for late night with stretches after.

It seems overwhelming, but as soon as you learn all exercises you will know which of them to use and when. The main principle of our Weight Loss Lifestyle Retreat is - "Let your body to have some space" The living space for body is not just space but rather movements. We move our bodies in space and the bodies exist in that movements. Movement is the living space for a body. So when you let your body be in some movements, it learns something new, and what is remarkable - it gives you a feedback!. To recognize that feedback from your own body is what the real yoga about. We will help you to experience this connection with your body.

Get Active Toronto report released today a "call to action"
Children and youth aged 6 - 19 at greatest risk for a sedentary lifestyle.

May 25, 2011

Get Active Toronto today released its 2011 Report on Physical Activity in Toronto that revealed continued lower rates of physical activity among school age children particularly low for young girls. While at the same time, Toronto is experiencing the highest participation in interschool athletics in the last five years.

According to Medhat Mahdy, Chair, Get Active Toronto this year’s report shows some improvements but still much more work to be done.

“We are encouraged that there is an increase in sports participation at schools in Toronto, the highest in the past five years...but at the same time still overall low rates of physical activity among children and young adults age 6-19,” said Mahdy.
