Fitness at BCAK
Exercise, Yoga and Qi Gong are held in BCAK’s multi-purpose room at 110-650 Dalton Ave.
Exercise classes are open to breast cancer survivors and, if space is available, supporters with a current paid up BCAK membership and having paid their $50.00 activity fee. To become a member please, visit our Membership Page.
Registration for classes is required as we have limited space and, only those registered will be notified of any last minute cancellations due to weather or illness.
If you are interested in joining a class, we kindly ask that you first contact our office so that we can put you in touch with our Fitness Coordinator, Cristina Puga. Certain class schedules may be changed and some classes are discontinued for the summer months.
Qi Gong (pronounced Chi gong) is a practice of aligning breath, movement and awareness for exercise, healing and meditation. With roots in Chinese medicine, martial arts and philosophy, Qi Gong is traditionally viewed as a practice to cultivate and balance Qi (chi), which can be translated as “intrinsic life energy”. Typically, Qi Gong practice involves rhythmic breathing coordinated with slow, stylized repetition of fluid movement.
The goal is a calm state with visualization of guiding Qi through the body. No special clothing or equipment is required.
