FOOTWEAR IS A MUST!

Bring some Funshine to your life with ZUMBA. You Be You - just feel the music and dance to upbeat Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia, Reggaeton, and Pop music. When my foot was broken, I still worked up a happy sweat teaching while sitting down. So good!

WARNING: You may lose stress, unwanted weight, sleeplessness, and self-judgment.

BRING: Your most worn-in, smooth-soled sneakers, a small towel, and water. Wear comfy layers.

*New Class Pilates: Core Cardio

with Pauline Gardner

Saturdays at 9:15 $10 per class

​

Core Pilates is the ultimate mind-body exercise for anyone who wants to improve posture, flexibility, and balance, enhancing both physical stamina and well-being without bulked-up results. 

This upbeat, total body workout focuses on the Core (abdominal and back muscles.) We will warm-up with happy music. Stretching, to reduce tension and increase range of motion, is interwoven with the moderately aerobic mat, standing, and sitting series. 

Our class will practice the classic Pilates method, created by Joseph H Pilates, sometimes using stability balls and/or 2# toning balls. Participants will experience a program of Pilates exercises that can be done anywhere without machines. All fitness levels are welcome. 

Pilates is practiced on a mat with bare feet, ballet slippers, or yoga socks with safety soles. 

Until we acquire 2# toning balls, please bring 2# weights if you have them. Second choice: 1# or 3# hand weights if you have them. Most likely, you will want to invest in a pair of 2# toning balls to use at home. A link for best equipment choices will be provided. 

You are always welcome to contact me.

For some people Tai Chi is a martial art--a slowed down, graceful way of practicing the art of self-protection. According to most legends, this was Tai Chi's beginnings--back in centuries past when Chinese villagers were not allowed to take up arms or show their ability to fight off the warlords or local gangs that threatened them. But for many of the early practitioners as well as most of us today, Tai Chi is an "internal" martial art. We want to fend off the stresses of modern life, maintain our agility, balance, and overall health, practice mindfulness, and enjoy the mood-lifting experience of practicing these engaging movement forms with others
