What's Happening in the Studio?

Meet Jordan Wyonzek, Summer Adventurer

I am so excited to kick off my role as the Summer Adventurer! I have a passion for getting out and being active, whether it's playing sports or simply heading out to explore, and through this role I hope to be able to share that passion with you all. I believe sport and physical activity is such an awesome way to create independence and confidence in one's own abilities. Some other interests I have include video games, Lego, and trying new foods with friends. A few fun facts about me are that I dabble with playing the drums, make tasty stir fries, and currently am learning how to shoot a basketball. This summer keep your eyes open for fun activities which will be sure to spark everyone's interests!

Meet Julian Seilman, Travel Trainer Facilitator
Hi, my name is Julian. I am currently a Kinesiology student majoring in Human Kinetics. It has taken me quite awhile to get to the final stages of my degree, but one thing I have learned about life is that if you take things slow you will get there faster. My future goals are to travel around Asia, Australia and to become a Firefighter. In my spare time I enjoy reading, going on outdoor adventures and getting tattoos.

Meet Chelsi and Benji the Bernard
I've always been passionate about animals and people. My degree focused on the liberal arts and I carry that knowledge with me everywhere and utilize it every day. I love to be surrounded by animals, I find them very healing. I genuinely enjoy gardening, crafting, sewing and playing the piano.

Benji is a pure bred saint Bernard. His dad was was a show dog from the Swiss Alps. Benji was adopted as a puppy for the purpose of being a therapy dog and was hand chosen by his breeder as the "best of his litter" for therapy. However, he was a rambunctious puppy, and it took a few years of serious training before Benji was ready for therapy. Benji enjoys long walks on the trails, eating pizza crusts, and giving warm leans (his version of a hug!).

Join Chelsi and Benji every Friday at 5 pm in the Studio!

Come down and meet Alexa at the Studio every Sunday at 3pm to move and shake it like a Poloraoid picture!

Join Robyn every Friday afternoon at 1pm for the perfect way to unwind heading into the weekend -- Yoga!

Inspiration really comes from the root of genuine care about the family COR has given me a chance to love, support and care for. I enjoy being the change and making this experience not only about encouraging a healthy lifestyle, but also about having a good time!

Calum’s Photography Friday is Back!
We caught up to him to see what makes him so passionate about this art form:
‘I like photography because it allows me to capture something that only I experienced. Everyone experiences the world in different ways so it's cool to give someone insight on your experience!’
Catch Calum every Friday from 3-5pm in the COR Studio.

"I have come to find that music is one of the most important things in this world because it speaks to almost everyone on many different levels. All of my memories from family gatherings on my mother’s side include moments of song, the plucking of a guitar or mandolin, or tales from different gigs from all over the world."
