Join us on Saturday, August 12th for The Heart of It, a charity Barre class at WildHeart in Canmore, Alberta. Led by Brit Burr, this Heartbeat Barre class is an energetic, cardio-focused workout followed by a heart-opening flow. Proceeds from this special class will go toward the purchase of an essential piece of cardiac equipment for the Canmore General Hospital. Hosted by The Canmore & Area Health Care Foundation, this class is free to register, with donations being accepted at the door.
The mission of the Canmore and Area Health Care Foundation is to provide charitable financial resources for the continuing improvement of the facilities and services of the Canmore General Hospital. This special event is raising funds for a Carescape Central Monitoring System (both the station and the monitors), which helps to monitor the hearts of patients, offering patients and their caregivers an increased ability to make sound decisions and to receive the best possible care. The Carescape system will be used in the renovated emergency room of the Canmore Hospital. Renovations are already underway, and the project is expected to be completed by fall 2024.
The Carescape system has an estimated cost of $95,000, and the Foundation still needs about $20,000 to get across the finish line. By participating in The Heart of It, your donations will directly support the purchase of this equipment and the heart health of the Bow Valley community.
If you haven’t been to a Barre class before, you can expect a fun Pilates and Yoga inspired practice that combines dance, ballet, toning exercise, cardio, and multi-functional movements all set to music. No dance or Barre experience is needed. Expect to target all areas of the body during the workout portion of the class and finish with a relaxing stretch and flow that is meant to open the heart, chest, shoulders, and spine.
Donations can be made in cash or via card upon arrival. Be sure to reserve your spot through the MindBody app to save your spot. If you’ve never been to WildHeart before, you will be prompted to fill out a waiver online via MindBody, or you can do so in person when you arrive.
Come explore movement and have fun, all for a great cause. Click here to register and meet us at WildHeart on August 12th!
NOTE: Donations will be matched up to 50% through the Shaw Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink program.
