CALLANETICS
-
Callanetics is a series of stretching and contracting exercises that activate the body’s largest muscles groups, using tiny, gentle, precise movements, called pulses. These pulses reach deep into the muscles to give you a strong, firm body, without adding bulk.
In this class, you will exercise the deeper muscles involving frequent repetition of small muscular movements and squeezes, designed to improve muscle tone.
These small but precise movements will lead to improved posture, which may result in the appearance of weight loss even if very little weight was lost.
Come enjoy the incredible results of doing these simple and focused exercises.
LINE DANCING
-
Get ready to move, groove, and have fun with our Line Dancing class! Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned dancer, this class offers easy-to-follow steps.
Line dancing is a great way to boost your fitness, improve coordination, and enjoy a social, supportive environment. No partner needed—just bring your enthusiasm and let the rhythm guide you!

QIGONG

The word Qigong (pronounced “chee gong”) is a combination of two ideas: “Qi” means air, the breath of life, or vital energy of the body, and “gong” means the skill of working with, or cultivating self-discipline and achievement. The art of Qigong consists primarily of meditation, relaxation, physical movement, mind-body integration, and breathing exercises.

Qigong will impact your health in a positive way and you will feel its benefits.
