Class Descriptions
Below is the description of classes. Let us know which ones you want to see on the schedule!
ZUMBA!
This exciting aerobic dance class promises a great workout that’s fun, too! Check it out at www.zumba.com
Low-Impact Aerobics/Toning
One of our most popular formats, this class is perfect for beginners because the movements are simple enough, but the intermediate exerciser will still get a great workout. It will surprise you!
Pi-Yo
Another favorite! This class combines the best of pilates and yoga. Appropriate for all levels because you only go the point of strength/flexibility that is right for you. The instructor will help you achieve greater command of the various poses and positions.
Step
This class provides cardiovascular training utilizing a step with complex choreography.

Vinyasa
This style very typically includes meditation at the beginning and end of each session and a breath work with movement in between.
“Yoga is not about touching your toes. It is what you learn on the way down.” – Jigar Gor.
Vinyasa is a very common style of yoga that is practiced all around the world and simply means flow. We connect movement to our breath and flow from one asana (pose) to the next. The connection of movement and breath helps us focus. It balances the body and aligns not only our bones and muscles but also our thoughts and our consciousness. There can be many forms of vinyasa – from gentle flow to Power Yoga, – which we´ll explore during the class. All levels are welcome, and modifications will be provided even for the most challenging classes.
Yin Yoga
This style works on the deeper “Yin” tissue of joints, ligaments, deep fascial networks, and even bones. Yin practice is necessary, as we lose our joint mobility and range of motion with age.
“Our goal in life is not to become perfect. Our goal is to become whole”.
The opposition between Yin and Yang describes two facets of life existence. Harmony and health are created when those contrasting aspects are in balance. Most of modern western yoga is strong and dynamic, designed to work only the muscular half of the body, – the so-called “yang” tissue. In With Yin Yoga, holding every pose for several minutes, we work on the body, but also on our central nervous system, learning to find peace and stillness within. When we are out of balance, we become exhausted or sick. Therefore, we need to learn how to find balance in all things. In this retreat we will take care of you as a whole: Yin and Yang, mind, body, and spirit, – for a truly nurturing and rejuvenating experience.
Class Policies
Drink Plenty of Water
We provide free Culligan brand water to our members!
Wear Comfortable Shoes
If you’ve worn the same shoes for over a year, they probably don’t give you the support you need. New shoes don’t have to be pricey, but they fit should fit perfectly when you walk out the shoe store door…don’t buy shoes you have to “break in.”
Give Yourself a Break
It takes 3-4 times to get the hang of Step Aerobics, but it is worth it when you consider 500 calories burned at the same impact as walking. Don’t expect to learn it all in one day!
Working Late?
We still want to see you even if you can only make half the class! The warm-up, however, is important to avoid injury. If you are late, do the first 5 minutes of class on the floor if you are in Step Aerobics, or with lighter weights if you are in a Toning class.
Do Your Own Thing!
New to exercise? Do you like the excitement and workout you get from a traditional class but find you can’t keep up the whole hour? All step moves can be done on the floor, or even on a mat. Move to the back or sides of the room so you can continue without feeling out of place (and so others don’t trip over you!) Please let your instructor know if you have an injury so she can help you modify the moves.
Let Us Know You Are Here!
Please sign in before each class. We want to know which class times are your favorites so we can add more!
Bring A Smile
Your classmates don’t just see the instructor in the mirror….they see YOU, too! A good attitude and a willingness to learn new things goes a long way, too!
*There is a fee of $2 if you pay by PayPal or Credit Card.
