Meet Our Cover Artist Francine Lanoie was born in Quebec and moved to BC 22 years ago, first to Kamloops, then to Revelstoke two years ago.

YOGA ESSENTIALS Back at the Community Centre starting September 16th ! Wednesdays & Fridays 9:15 a.m. - 60 min. class Teacher: Beth Purser - RYT 500 BKin Guest Teacher: Margot Wyllie - Certified Yoga Therapist Description: Whether you are new to yoga or looking to return & reconnect to your practice, consider these classes a fresh start to learning and refining the Yoga Essentials. Although these classes are designed to complement each other, you are free to join whichever classes you like. All props are provided - bring water, wear loose comfortable clothing, and be prepared to have fun!


Prices: 10 x punch card: $110.25 (tax included)

5 x punch card : $57.75 Drop in: $12 (with minimum class requirements met)

Wednesday Flow: Inspired by traditional Hatha Yoga, Wednesday classes will introduce and refine breath awareness, proper alignment for foundational postures, and linking breath with movement. This gentle class will move at a slow pace with clear, detailed instruction. Modifications will be offered to accommodate individual variances so that all participants can safely experience the benefits this practice has to offer. Join this class to build strength & flexibility, improve concentration & co-ordination, and balance body & mind.

Friday Yin: Often called ‘Joint Yoga’, Yin involves longer held stretches targeting the deeper connective tissues in our joints - primarily the hips and spine. As we age our fascia tightens and restricts our range of motion and joint mobility. Due to the amount of stress and chaos inherent in our everyday lives we also tend to lose our ability to remain focused, calm, and present. Join this class to improve flexibility, joint health, & vitality, move with greater ease, help manage stress & calm the mind.

Helios Rehabilitation & Performance

“ Co re” Circu it: This class will focus on core strengthening, upper and lower body muscle training, and cardiovascular conditioning. The intensity will be set by you and there are many options for progressions as the weeks go on. For those who don’t feel like they are at the top of their game this circuit will help you ”get up and go”. This circuit will progress into Hard “Core” Circuit if you are interested in continuing your training.

H a rd “ Co re” Circuit : This is our traditional pre season circuit for those looking to get in shape for their favorite winter activities. This conditioning 6 week program will run from the middle of October until the end of November, preparing you for the winter season.

REVELSTOKE YOUTH SOCCER ASSOCIATION Development / Rep Program

In addition to the Spring House League soccer program, RYSA also supports a Development / Rep Program. The objective of this program is to encourage further skill and technical abilities at a level beyond the House program.

Teams in this program play in the Thompson Okanagan Youth Soccer League (TOYSL) and travel to Penticton, Kelowna, Vernon, Salmon Arm and Kamloops for games in late April, May and June.

Both the Development and Rep Program are open to new players for the 2015-2016 season. These are players born no later than 2006 (age 9) and up to 1998.

New and existing Rep/Dev players can register on September 9th, 2015 at the Community Centre as part of Mass Registration Night.

The fee includes player insurance, House fees, referee fees, TOYSL fees and basic uniform. All Rep/Dev players must play in the RYSA House league up to the U13 division. A refund will be available should the player not be successful or no team available in the age category.

A Parent Meeting will be held September 23, 2015 to outline the possible team groupings, commitment requirements, expectations and field questions. Players will be evaluated in early October with the intent to formulate teams by the end of October. Practice generally begins around Christmas depending on coach’s availability and schedule.
