The Physio’s Guide to Cocoon and Eagle

Fridays (Nov 6/13/20/27 Dec 4/11)

Physio Fei is back and ready to break down the next challenging set of pole tricks for you!

We’re so excited to share our upcoming workshop with @physiofei⁠

Ever wondered what your body actually needs to make Cocoon and Eagle feel stronger, more comfortable, and more accessible?

Join Physio Fei for a physio informed 6 week pole class series that breaks down these beautiful but demanding shapes from the inside out. We’ll explore the mobility, strength, active flexibility, body awareness, and positioning that contribute to each trick and, just as importantly, how to recognize when your body may need a different approach.

You’ll work through targeted assessments, warm-ups, activation exercises, progressions, and technique drills designed to help you understand what might be limiting your shape and what you can work on to improve it.

Expect plenty of hands-on learning, practical exercises, and modifications so you can take what you learn into your own training.

  • Understand the physical demands of Cocoon & Eagle
  • Identify mobility and strength limitations
  • Explore targeted activation and preparation exercises
  • Work on technique, positioning, and control
  • Learn progressions and modifications

Tiny Flow: A Parent and Baby to Kids Yoga Experience

Sunday October 18th, 2026

Bring your little ones with you!

We’re so excited to share a new and exciting workshop coming your way this October!! For parents/caregivers we’re so excited to bring you a workshop with @aatikaflows where you and your little one can work out together!

We’re excited to bring you: Tiny Flow: A Parent & Baby to Kids Yoga Experience

  • Date: Sunday October 18th
  • Studio: Danforth Studio
  • Time: 2:45PM-3:45PM
  • Cost $45 (cost includes BOTH parent + child)

Come move, stretch, play, and connect together!

Tiny Flow is a joyful, playful yoga experience designed for little ones from 0–8 years old and their parents/caregivers. Whether you have a tiny baby, a curious toddler, or an energetic kiddo, this workshop creates space for you to explore movement and mindfulness together.

Through age-appropriate yoga-inspired movement, playful poses, songs, breathing activities, stretches, balance games, and partner activities, we’ll encourage children to discover their bodies while building connection with their grown-up.

For our youngest participants, this may look like gentle movement, baby stretches, songs, sensory play, and caregiver assisted poses. As children grow, activities can become more independent, imaginative, and interactive.

Most importantly, there’s no expectation to sit still or “do yoga perfectly.” Wiggles, giggles, breaks, and curiosity are all welcome! This is a space to move at your own pace and enjoy being present together.

What to expect:

  • Playful yoga poses and movement
  • Gentle stretches and mobility
  • Storytelling, songs, games, and imaginative movement
  • Partner and caregiver-child activities
  • Simple breathing and mindfulness exercises
  • Opportunities for connection, laughter, and exploration
  • A dedicated space for little ones who need a temporary break

Age: 0–8 years
Who can attend: Babies, toddlers, and children accompanied by a parent or caregiver

Come as you are, bring your little one, and let’s move, breathe, play, and flow together! 💛

A Note for Grown-Ups

We know that yoga may be a brand-new experience for some of our little participants, and that’s completely okay!

Children may need a little time to warm up to a new space, activity, or group. If your baby or child needs a break during the session, you’re welcome to pause and step away at any time before rejoining the group when they’re ready.

We’ll also have a separate room with some toys and activities available for children who need a moment to themselves, a change of scenery, or simply want to take a little break before coming back to the group.

There is absolutely no pressure to participate in every activity. Our goal is to create a welcoming, child-friendly environment where everyone can move, explore, and participate in whatever way feels comfortable for them.

Workshops with Luna Yen

Saturday October 17th, 2026

Join us for 2 AMAZING and FUN Workshops!

We’re so excited to share that @luna.yen.movement is coming to Redefine Fit for two very exciting workshops!!!

Low Flow Noodling: Join Luna in some grounded noodling. We don’t go any higher than you can reach from the floor, and we explore the potential of where pole meets floorwork.

Pole Choreography: Just as the name suggests, dance with Luna, on the pole! If you’ve ever lamented about not coming from a dance background, Luna has too. From that experience, Luna teaches choreography from the lens of one who learned dance skills as an adult, cueing where you might not think to check!

This includes first place in the professional sport category with the Canadian Pole and Aerial Championship (both nationally and in the western division https://www.instagram.com/reels/DMdo8_2hfFa/); first place semi-professional art category and overall at Pole Theatre Canada (https://www.instagram.com/reels/CfW3c9xpmu1/); and first place at Pole Sport Organization competitions (https://www.instagram.com/reels/Cu2Rw_iLLIV/) (level 5 championship and “exotic”, when PSO still used the term).
