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.
