Functional Longevity Mondays online 9:45-10:30am
Based on the work of biomechanist, Katy Bowman, we will focus on movement that encourages us to move well, feel better, and be functionally independent (being able to participate in the activities and pastimes we enjoy, as well as being able to continue to live in our own home). Class movements will be performed from a variety of standing, seated and floor postures and will often use a tennis ball, yoga block(s) and/or a strap (please email Kristie for options if you currently do not own this equipment and would like to participate).

Join us for a group fitness class that combines Pilates, dance, yoga and sculpting movements. Using bodyweight, this class challenges the entire body, especially the muscles of the legs, butt and core to tighten and tone, without adding bulk.
This class will enhance flexibility and both muscular and cardiorespiratory endurance through fast-paced, low-impact movements. Whether performing exercises laying down, seated, or standing, the focus is always on maintaining proper alignment and core stabilization to create a fun, yet challenging, workout experience. This class is designed for healthy individuals with no previous dance experience.

Tai Chi
Tai Chi invites you to move slow in a fast world. Often called medication in motion, Tai Chi is comprised of easy-to-learn forms that are both healing and mindful. Low-impact movements are practiced in a slow, flowing sequence to improve posture, balance, range of motion, confidence, cognitive abilities and mind-body integration.
Tuesdays, 12:00-12:45pm (CT)
Mindful Meditation
Meditation provides the opportunity to connect with our breath to help usher our body and mind back to a more natural and calm state that can improve well-being, sleep and relationships. Every time we notice that our mind has slipped away from the now, we gently bring it back to our breathing, to our body, to the present moment. There is no good or bad meditation, there is no good or bad meditator, there is just our breath, again and again. No experience necessary.
Tuesdays, 10:00-10:45am (CT)
