NEW STUFF! Gentle Stretch and Meditation Every Tuesday at 9:00 AM in Room 127 We are so excited about this new class! It starts out with 30 minutes of gentle stretch then finishes with 30 minutes of guided meditation. This class will help to calm your energy, and get you into your parasympathetic nervous system so you can feel peace, calm and centered. It’s a great way to start your day! Zumba Gold! Try it on Thursday, October 5 or Thursday, October 12 at 9:00 AM Zumba Gold is perfect for active older adults who are looking for a modified Zumba class that recreates the original moves you love at a lower-intensity. Join Eleika and reap the benefits in your cardiovascular system, and improve your flexibility and balance! We will take input and suggestions during these 2 classes then have a confirmed schedule in November.

"There‘s a Goblin at my Window, a Monster by my Door. The Pumpkin on my Table, keeps Smiling more and more. There‘s a Ghost who Haunts my Bedroom, a Witch whose Face is Green. They used to be my Family, till they Dressed for Halloween." ~ Sandra Liatsos
