YOGA Ages 16+
Yoga for Strength & Stability: This unique workout is designed to integrate strength, flexibility and sculpting poses, causing your body to feel in balance. Breathe, relax and engage core muscle groups to create renewed energy, a sense of well-being and inner calm.
Yoga for Mind & Body: Vinyasa flow yoga emphasizes the sequential movement between poses, coordinated with guided breath. The vinyasa practice becomes a moving meditation that creates strength, freedom and fluidity in the body and mind. In this class, the focus is on breathing and correct alignment as you flow from one pose to another. This will help strengthen the core, promote flexibility in the body and overall cardiovascular fitness. There is an emphasis on advancing gradually and each yogi is encouraged to modify by listening to their body. Emphasis on simplicity, repetition, and ease of movement. Classes are designed for all levels. Please bring a mat to class.
SENIOR FITNESS Ages 50+
Strength & Bone Density: There is scientific evidence that shows the benefits of weight bearing exercise on bone density. We reach peak bone density in our twenties and begin to lose it in our thirties. This is especially true without proper exercise, diet and with a family history of osteoporosis. This class takes you through a wide variety of light weight bearing exercises to help you stay strong and healthy. Our instructor, Holly Ramsdell, is certified in senior fitness and has enjoyed teaching seniors since 2009.
Gentle Yoga: Age more gracefully and become more active through yoga. It’s a perfect practice for those with injuries, poor balance, or stiffness. This is a safe and gentle approach proven to improve posture, flexibility, balance, and strength. Yoga improves breathing and mindfulness, leading to improved mental well-being. You will feel stronger and more alert. A chair is used for the first part of the class followed by floor exercises. Please bring a yoga mat.
