Wesley is a bundle of energy if there ever was one. His class is perfect for the lunch hour crowd – either those just beginning their day or in need of a break from sitting at a desk all morning. He teaches a Vinyasa flow class, incorporating pilates moves and dancing – embodying everything Exhale stands for. Wesley has such a joyful demeanor that it rubs off on all around him, yet he manages to ground his students at the same time.

We began with some breathing exercises that centered us before moving into more physical yoga postures; we then strengthened our core with pilates and yoga moves, but my favourite part came towards the end, when we got up and danced! Wesley plays great music throughout his practice, but at this particular part he turned it up and blasted Daft Punk’s “One More Time,” while leading us through a series of moves and breathing exercises stemming from yoga, designed to create fire in our bodies. I have never left a yoga class feeling so ready to take on the world! If you don’t dance don’t shy away – Wesley’s moves reminded me of yoga warriors and other strong poses done in quick succession. I felt powerful and graceful at the same time.

While Wesley’s entire class flows much like a dance, this added kicker toward the end, followed with a grounding inversion, some cleansing twists, and Savasana, centered my energy and gave me the power I needed to take on the rest of the day! I enjoyed this class so much I can’t wait to go back; I will definitely mix up my schedule a little more often!
