Grumpy muscles and joints? This class is for you! Based on Rosen Method Movement, a tradition developed by physical therapist Marion Rosen, who took this class right here at Albany Senior Center through her mid-90's. Classes are playful yet powerful, combining elements of stretch, balance, dance, yoga, and relaxation, all done to a variety of wonderful music. Lengthening and lubricating the joints and muscles, working with balance, and stimulating the brain- while being part of a supportive group- all contribute to feeling more relaxed and alive. Suitable for all fitness and ability levels. Join us! Fee is per class.

All are invited, anxious or afraid people, people who need to slow down, caregivers to nourish themselves, isolated ones to move and be moved within a fun community. At the end of the class, you will feel open, alive and joyfully connected to yourself and others. I have led this weekly class -never the same- for more than 30 years and keep enjoying it. Please join us! Fee is per class.
