Chair Yoga 

This class will focus on stretching and strengthening the body in a simple and safe way. No need to have experience in yoga. Breathing techniques will be a part of the content of this course to help the body relax and leave the room with a clear mind. Please wear comfortable clothing.

Standing Yoga 

Beginners welcome! This class is one of the best classes to start with if you are new to yoga and you consider yourself an active person. We work the body from head to toes, at a good pace so you can learn all the postures. This class offers a great opportunity to relax and learn. Please wear comfortable clothing. Yoga mats are not provided.

Carpet Bowling 

This indoor game is similar to Lawn Bowling and utilizes smaller and lighter versions of bowls with less distance to bowl than indoor bowling. It is fun, challenging, and provides an excellent opportunity to socialize. Newcomers are always welcome!

Adult Zumba 

Join us for a fun, upbeat dance-fitness class that combines fast and slow rhythms from Latin and international music. These interval workout classes move between high and low intensity dance moves designed to get your heart rate up and boost cardio endurance. All skill levels are welcome!
