Functional movement is a term to describe exercises that help you perform everyday activities more easily. Join Jill in this 37 minute class as she works on multiple muscles groups in the lower body to be able to transition from the floor to standing with ease. She also emphasizes core strength and stability. Great for beginners but also some of the movements in the workout gets into more of an intermediate class. Just do what you can and enjoy! The meditation will have you focusing on the virtue of temperance to resist distractions.

Are you looking for a relaxing stretch with a focus on the core? Then Gentle Core is for you. Join Betsy as she takes you through a series of simple stretches interspersed with core work and cues to engage the core even as you stretch. The prayers and Scripture will have you reflecting on the personal love of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

A mix of dynamic core stabilizing exercises using planks, squats, standing side crunches, and Pike pushups with shoulder taps. A light weight is optional. Good for the beginner to intermediate.

This gentle, full body, low impact class promotes increased mobility, flexibility, and relaxation. The class, along with the peaceful music will leave you feeling balanced, soothed, at peace while the prayers focus on the journey from vocal prayer to Christian meditation.

If you would like to improve your health and fitness while relaxing your mind and body to combat stress, Live from Home: Dual Benefits is the class for you. This 25 min. slower-paced class will not only work all of your major muscle groups, but it will also help to calm your nervous system, all while reflecting on prayer and daily meditation.

This gentle spine mobility class is perfect for those who would like a restful start to your day or if you would like a low impact routine that prepares your spine to get going for whatever activities you have planned. The meditation will help you to focus on St. Joseph.

Live! from Home: Habit Forming is a 32-minute gentle class that is all on the mat (no standing postures). The stringed instrumental music will help you ease into the class as you begin deep breathing in the supine position. As you consider the blessings you are grateful for today, Betsy will help you remember the blessing of God’s love for you right where you are today. After warming up through various stretches in cross-legged seated position and hands and knees position, you will move into the gentle workout. You will strengthen your back muscles through an ab balance with scissors, your quads and abdominals with a kneeling quad exercise, and your thighs in low lunge. You will stretch your thighs, groins, and psoas as well as the surrounding connective tissue as you stay in hip-release for the long-hold. The Scripture and meditation today will encourage you to practice daily meditative prayer, even if you don’t feel that you have great inspirations--the simple act of spending time with God is worthwhile--your friendship with God will grow, and God will do His work in you, sometimes without your noticing.

Increase the strength in your arms and back with Live for Advent: Armed for Life. The strengthening exercises used in the class will help you improve your ability to lift heavier objects while working on the mobility of your shoulder and elbow joints. To improve how your arms look—and, more importantly, how they work, join Betsy for this gentle arm workout. You will need a set of light hand weights, but feel free to use something around the house like food cans. You can still get a workout if you do not use weights. The meditation will help you better prepare for Christmas by contemplating Joy as we await our Lord's birth!

Are you ready to lengthen and strengthen your leg muscles? In this Gentle class, you will begin on your back for deep breathing, shifting your body from the sympathetic to the parasympathetic nervous system (the part of the autonomic nervous system that allows your body to rest, digest, and heal.) After warming up through neck stretches, cross-legged seated forward folds, twists, low lunge, and pike pose, you will move into the workout portion of class, which is focused on the legs. Your legs will be both stretched and strengthened as you follow Betsy’s lead through squats, pike, swan dives, high lunges, and seated forward folds. As you relax into an easy hip release for your long hold, you will hear a meditation encouraging you to contemplate Christ’s meekness and to consider how you can imitate Him. The instrumental music for this class has a holiday feel; the music for the quiet pose is a piece of Gregorian chant that helps you end the class in a peaceful conversation with God.

In this 34-minute, Gentle class, Betsy will help you learn how to engage your pelvic floor and strengthen it through a variety of different exercises. Your pelvic floor, the muscle between your pubic bone and sacrum, acts as a hammock to hold everything up. Your hammock may be stretched out through bearing down, pregnancy, and/or childbirth--and it likely needs a bit of strengthening. (One tell-tale sign of a weak pelvic floor is urine leakage from laughing, sneezing or coughing.) “Restore Your Pelvic Floor” begins on your back for deep breathing and gratefulness, followed by pelvic floor contractions as you move through leg extensions and half backbends. You will continue to strengthen your pelvic floor in hands and knees position and pike pose. After seated forward folds, twists, and modified side planks, you will relax into a reclined inner thigh stretch for the long hold and meditation. The prayers and meditation will encourage you to consider how you can love Jesus this Advent.
