Jade Wellness Studio

Formerly the Yoga Door and Jade Yoga, Jade Wellness Studio has been sharing yoga, pilates and other contemplative and expressive arts in the Algoma District since 2004. Located in the heart of downtown Sault Ste. Marie, Jade Wellness is one of the largest yoga and pilates centres in Northern Ontario. The team aims to create a non-competitive and welcoming atmosphere for everyone to come and discover his or her true potential.

Jade, like other precious stones, is hidden inside rocks and needs to be uncovered through polishing to remove all the rough edges and layers. It is their hope that through yoga, Pilates, and other forms of energy movements, you will be able to uncover the precious self that is always within. The green colour of jade echoes their intention to "go green" and operate consciously and mindfully.

With over 30 classes a week it's easy to find something for every fitness level from Gentle Pilates and Theraputic Yoga for Aches & Pains to Power Mat Pilates and Power Flow & Yin Yoga. Their clients also enjoy booking one on one sessions to achieve personal goals and some just prefer a quiet, private setting. Also offered are therapeutic services and treatments including Registered Massage Therapy, Reflexology, Feldenkrais, Reiki, Thai Yoga Massage, Shiatsu, and aromatherapy. Their mission is to provide a non-competitive and welcoming atmosphere for everyone to come and discover his or her true potential.

It is Jade's intention and goal to make conscious choices to minimize the negative impact to the environment. Using only eco-friendly, low-VOC paint and bamboo flooring, which is one of the most renewable resources for flooring. Also incorporated is a low-flow plumbing system, programmable thermostat and compact florescent light fixtures to save energy. In the day-to-day operation, it is encouraged to use of reusable items such as hand towels and mugs instead of the disposable options. All of the cleaning products used in the studio are plant-based or non-toxic.

In the boutique you can find made in North America, eco-friendly performance apparel, Yoga/Pilates props, and beautiful everyday items for the home. At Jade, they carry products that help create a natural and healthy lifestyle. Jade works closely with the local community and showcases items from local artisans.

Lifeforia

A message from Co-Founder of Lifeforia, Tina Colizza...

"LIFEforia Wellness Club was inspired by a dear friend and is empowered by the strength of her spirit and her will to help women live longer, healthier, happier, more peaceful and more fulfilling lives. LIFEforia Wellness Club represents a revolution in the way we think, feel, act and live so that we can ultimately achieve a happy, peaceful and fulfilled life. The revolution is about taking control of the way we live and becoming masters of our destiny. This revolution means awakening to the present moment and accepting and living each and every moment non-judgmentally. This revolution is about living a great life and realizing that wellness has been right in front of us this whole time. This revolution is about a movement towards world wide wellness, where women will lead us in this journey.

LIFEforia is leading this revolution and is central to what LIFEforia is all about. Not only is the LIFEforia brand based on loving and serving in the purest form, but our entire staff is committed to these values. We will never claim to be experts in all aspects of wellness, nor will we claim to be perfect in any way. We will however strive to be honest about our inabilities and abilities and we will take on difficult challenges and issues and try to resolve them in the best possible way. We recognize that many women are living in conditions below societal standards and that many women cannot afford to take advantage of the wellness services and support offered by LIFEforia. We have taken our first step in addressing this issue by working with various women organizations in our community. LIFEforia's ultimate goal is to help increase wellness lifestyles among women and their families, which we hope will lead to a better world.

In order to change we must be sick and tired of being sick and tired. How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something. We hope that through LIFEforia we can help people take charge of their destinies and design a life of substance to reach their fullest potential. It is our dream that LIFEforia will build healthier communities one woman at a time. Finally, if you knew you could live a long healthy, happy, peaceful and fulfilled life, would you? We know you can and we hope you will".

Healthy Blessings,
Tina Colizza

Your wellness is possible, here and now, as you journey to your highest potential. Your wellness is about living a happy, healthy, peaceful, and fulfilling life. Your wellness is about pursuing a higher quality of life through enjoyable experiences, exercises to stay active, rest and relaxation to revitalize your mind and bodies, empowering beliefs to reach your fullest capabilities, an awareness of your being to unleash the great power within, a supportive environment to keep toxins at bay, and wonderful, loving relationships to encourage and nurture you on your journey towards the most delightful you! Your wellness is your obligation to yourself! The time has come to be kind to yourself: to strive for balance, harmony, but also pleasure!

LIFEforia is not a fitness facility, but rather a club for women that offers the tools, services and products for living an optimal life. Fitness represents only one very small piece of a wellness lifestyle. Nutrition, relaxation, relationships, mental conditioning and spiritual connection are among other critical components of health and well-being. LIFEforia's programs provide women with a balanced approach and guidance to living a long, happy, healthy, peaceful and fulfilled life. LIFEforia's community of women is an environment where women thrive, where women stand up for each other in their journey to their highest potential. LIFEforia Wellness Club encourages women to explore different routes in life, connect with their inner being and manifest their outer purpose. LIFEforia transcends the beliefs of the previous decades where fitness and sacrifice were required to be healthy. LIFEforia Wellness Club embraces a new age where health and well-being means nourishing your body, your mind and your spirit with activity and nourishment in a loving and enjoyable manner. This new age of health and well-being, called WELLthy Living, is the key to unlocking the power within and freeing yourself to live to your highest potential.

Although members get unlimited access to all facilities, including our state of the art fitness facilities, as well as special membership pricing, the public, both male and female are welcome to try our clinical services, spa services, seminars, classes and playshops. All pricing will include both member and non-member prices.

LIFEfitness - As a member of LIFEforia Wellness Club, you'll enjoy a luxurious women's only environment that embodies the movement towards self care and enjoying a full life. The LIFEforia Wellness Club grew from the belief that wellness can be achieved here and now, as part of our journey to reaching our highest potential. It's about creating an environment where every element supports living life to its fullest. A treadmill is a treadmill is a treadmill. It's not the machines that create wellness. The human element is the key. LIFEforia's mission of loving and serving is the heart of the LIFEfitness exeperience. LIFEfitness is part of the revolution where health and wellness no longer means sacrifice, but where new activities stimulate our minds and bodies while bringing women together to have fun. LIFEfitness - Fitness, Sault Ste. Marie.

When you are in a rush, here are a few things that you can do:

• Always keep frozen fish in the freezer. In a pinch you can make a seafood pasta 'e olio' that will look and taste gourmet and delicious in under 30 minutes. You can also quickly defrost fish under cold water and it tastes great baked in the oven with olive oil and lemon served with brown rice – yum!
• Keep cans of tuna, shrimp and clams in the cupboard – great with Pasta!
• Always have brown pasta and tomato sauce in your cupboards – this is a very easy and fast meal to make that will always be on hand.
• Always have frozen vegetables in the freezer – not as good as the fresh stuff, but great if you don't have time to stop in at the grocery store.
• Always keep some chicken broth or vegetable broth in your cupboard. You can make quick and easy delicious soups, serve with some fresh whole wheat bread and voila – a meal fit for a royal family!
• Always keep a few heads of lettuce and tomatoes in your crisper – be creative with your salads and make sure that salad is part of every meal.
