FITNESS CLASSES

Yoga Flow Basics

Jazzercise Lo-Impact

Each month, the class begins by exploring basic alignment of selected poses, breath work, and meditation.

As the class progresses, new poses are added creating a flow using these poses and synchronizing them with proper breathing. Class begins with warm-up poses to allow deeper stretching and cool-down poses to release muscles, allowing deep relaxation. No experience necessary, class is designed to provide options for all levels.

Use muscles, not momentum to get a total-body workout that brings all the dance fitness fun without the hop. A combination of cardio and strength training for a heart-healthy workout that keeps your body strong.
