Yoga has been found to be a helpful stretching, breathing and meditative exercise with health benefits ranging from stress reduction to carpal tunnel relief, as well as relief to patients with chronic health conditions including diabetes, cancer, obesity, heart disease and stroke.

Tai Chi is often described as “meditation in motion.” It is a gentle, slow motion exercise similar to Yoga. Tai Chi’s stress reduction effect is supported by the physical evidence: lower blood pressure, decreased joint and back pain, increased flexibility and balance, and boosts in energy and immunity.
Jazzercise is a powerfully FUN and effective workout that will lift your spirits and strengthen your heart, muscles, and core. It combines jazz dance, resistance training, Pilates, yoga, ballet, and kickboxing. No dance experience is necessary! Men and women are welcome.
Each 60-minute class includes a gentle warm up, 30-minute aerobic workout, muscle toning and strengthening segment with weights or tubes, and ends with a cool down stretch.
Wear comfortable clothing that allows for sweat evaporation and does not restrict movement. Layers work well. Aerobic shoes are strongly encouraged. Bring water, 3 or 5 lb. weights, and a towel.
