72. Yoga—Functionally Fit

  • Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church, Fellowship Hall (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

This course is NOT about strange, pretzel acrobatics, but rather strengthening and stretching, with enough balance and flexibility exercises to age well and be able to do what we want to keep doing. Using yoga exercises, we strengthen and tone the body, enhance flexibility in the joints, improve balance and focus, reduce stress, and improve circulation and concentration. Please bring a mat or blanket to class and wear comfortable, non-binding clothes. As with any exercise program, check first with your doctor, especially if there is any history of untreated high blood pressure, eye complications from disease, or other health concerns. The instructor has been practicing and teaching yoga for over 50 years. Limit 23.

70. Zumba Gold®

to Apr 5

70. Zumba Gold®

Zumba Gold® is the modified Zumba Fitness program that is everything a traditional Zumba class is—an exhilarating, effective, easy-to-follow, Latin-inspired, calorie-burning dance fitness party—but at a lower intensity.  We will focus on balance, range of motion and coordination. Students should be able to stand and move safely for 45 minutes, but participation in a chair will be offered to students with limited mobility. Our instructor is an AFAA certified group fitness instructor and has been teaching Zumba Fitness programs for more than six years. Dress in comfortable clothes and secure rubber-soled shoes. Limit 30.
