Program Descriptions:
Art Exploration with Helena Larsen McKay
Helena is a self-taught artist who works in watercolour multi-media. She is a teacher who loves to share her joy for art. It is Helena’s desire to take the stress out of art making, and she encourages students to explore and relax. The students will always have the opportunity to try a technique several times.
Helena will demonstrate art techniques using watercolour and a variety of other mediums such as oil pastels, watercolour pencil crayons, soft pastels, salt, and even rubbing alcohol. Each student will be able to complete at least one specific project, and if time allows, they will have time for free exploration as well.
Possible paintings that students will complete include: aspen trees, outer space, fireworks, rainbows, still life, winter scenes, and dandelions.
Age Range: Aimed for youth aged 10 and up.

Abstract Art class with FAT Ink
This program is built on one belief: there’s no “right” way to create — only endless ways to explore.
Kids dive into mixed-media fun through themed workshops such as nature art, doodle art, collaborative murals, and a range of abstract techniques, all within a relaxed and supportive space.
With a gently guided, minimally structured approach, children are encouraged to experiment, express themselves, and discover their own artistic voice through the introduction of abstract concepts and playful exploration.
I’m Fatema — a mom of two creative beings, with years of experience working with children both in groups and one-on-one. I’m a passionate advocate for the arts, especially abstract expression and bold colour. I also love working on large-scale murals. I’m currently exploring the therapeutic side of art alongside an art therapist and learning how creativity could offer children a way to express what words sometimes can’t.
Whether they love to doodle, paint with energy, or try something completely new, this class gives kids the freedom, confidence, and space to let their creativity shine.
Feel free to check out FAT Ink’s website at https://fatink.co to learn more about the instructor and what they offer.
Age Range: Aimed for children aged 6 to 12

Yoga Classes with Nicole
Yoga is a global health activity enjoyed by millions of people of all ages. It is the practice of poses, stretches, and exercises that become meditation-in-action, creating awareness of the breath flowing through the body, creating heat in the body through movement, locating and releasing tension and imbalances, and providing numerous physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits. Yoga is very approachable, starts out easy, and can be an ideal low-impact activity for people with injuries or health concerns.
Yoga Mats & Equipment: Participants will need to bring their own yoga mats to each session. If you have other yoga props such as blocks and straps, feel free to bring them as well.
Clothing: Yoga requires bending, stretching and posing in creative ways, so please wear something that is comfortable and can move with you. People often sweat from the workout, so basic athletic and yoga apparel works best.
Session Options:
- Monday Gentle Yoga is a hatha style practiced on the floor on the mat. We generally move slowly, with less intense positions, and usually includes a brief lesson from the Yoga Sutras (an ancient guide for practitioners), pranayama (breathing techniques), guided meditation and relaxation. Our focuses are range of motion/mobility, nurturing joints and connective tissues, breath capacity, meditation techniques and practicing balance. This class is approachable for the absolute beginner.
- Wednesday Fitness Yoga is a more vigorous, often times with vinyasa (flow between poses), strength-based class. Asana (postures) will have a greater physical demand than the Gentle Yoga class. Pranayama (breathing techniques), guided meditation and relaxation are also included in the class. Our focuses are flexibility, strength, balance, breath capacity and relaxation. This class is approachable for the beginner yoga student who is looking for a fitness class.
- Chair Yoga is practiced while sitting in or standing using a chair for support. We generally move slowly allowing the participant time to feel their way into postures. Our focus is on range of motion/joint movement and blood flow in order to nourish soft tissues, breath capacity, mobility, functional movements, strength, balance, relaxation/yoga nidra (guided sleep meditation). This style is good for someone who isn’t comfortable sitting on the floor, has balance issues or who finds the fitness yoga too much on wrists/shoulders/knees. This class is approachable for the absolute beginner.
