Zumba - Claudine, Christie, Mary, Ture

Zumba is an hour of dynamic, dance-based movement set to a playlist of mixed tunes and intensity levels from start to finish. Each class begins with a warm-up, followed by songs of varying styles and rhythms (each one with its own routine), and ends with a cool-down and stretching. Dance experience is not necessary to participate. Our goal is simple: We want you to move, to have a great time doing it, and to come back for more!

Zumba Gold - Claudine

Zumba Gold is a low-impact, simplified version of Zumba. It still follows the same format of dynamic, dance-based movement set to a playlist of mixed tunes that each have their own choreography. It's a great lower-intensity dance fitness option as well as an “on-ramp” if you’re new to Zumba classes. Like Zumba, dance experience is not required to participate!

Tai Ji for Balance - Evy

Tai Ji Quan Moving for Better Balance® (TJQMBB) is an evidence-based fall prevention program designed for older adults. Developed by Fuzhong Li, Ph.D., Senior Scientist at the Oregon Research Institute, TJQMBB draws from traditional martial arts-based movements, but applies movement in a therapeutic regimen of lessons aimed at improving balance. The series begins with gentler exercises and progresses week-by-week to stronger practice. Please wear loose clothing and flatter-soled shoes with closed heels. Refer to https://tjqmbb.org/ for program details.

Yoga - Amy

A blend of Hatha and Anusara Yoga styles and spirituality, allowing each student to practice in the way that their body needs that day or skipping the pose if it’s painful. I focus on strength, flexibility and balance, which are all necessary for aging bodies. I sequence the class so that students are feeling capable of holding a standing balance, for example, by warming up specific muscles related to that pose. I use a theme in order to inspire my students, and try to call them by their names to promote community.

Pilates - Anne

The goals are core strength, shoulder and pelvic stability, increased mind-body awareness, improved balance and coordination, and injury prevention.
