BARRE

Pilates Barre is a high intensity, low impact class. It incorporates traditional dance movement with pilates using weights, therabands, chi balls, rings and a ballet barre. Pilates Barre uses interval training to help you get fast and effective results in losing weight, building strength and gaining muscle definition.

An energetic and great all over body workout where you will certainly feel the burn!!! Bring a towel and water as its going to get sweaty.

YIN

Yin is based on ancient Chinese philosophies and Taoist principles which believe there are pathways of energy that run through our bodies. By stretching and deepening into poses, we are opening up any blockages and releasing that energy to flow freely.

A yin sequence is not to move through postures freely, postures could be held for three to five minutes a time. The aim is to access the deeper tissues, and many of the postures focus on areas that encompass a joint (such as the hips, sacrum, and spine, to name a few).

50 POSES OF GREY

Yoga is not only safe for older practitioners, but also effective in keeping the mind and body in good health.

Many seniors are searching for ways to improve their quality of life and remain active as they enter midlife and later years. A complete health system, yoga not only restores vitality to the body, but also expands the mind and soul.

Yoga transforms the years after 50 from a time of deterioration to one of increased perspective and illumination. Beginning a yoga practice as an older adult can be intimidating, especially if you’re out of shape or working with health conditions. starting a gentle practice can be an excellent way to stay active and lower stress levels. Yoga can have a number of benefits for people over 50, from healthy bones to flexibility to anxiety relief.

ADAM’S AEROBICS

This is an 80s themed aerobics dance class that encompasses an aerobic cardio workout, conditioning, strength, stretch and then we learn a dance which we add on to every week to a classic 80s pop tune.
It’s for girls and gays only. It’s not for professional dancers, it’s for women and gays that love to dance but are not pros. I want to create a safe space for people to express themselves and not feel judged.
