Chi Gong

Chi Gong is a system of exercise that incorporates physical postures, breathing techniques, and focused intentions to balance the energy in the body. It is used to improve health and has been known to help people alleviate pain and stress.
The movements of Chi Gong reduce stress, build stamina, increase vitality, and enhance the immune system. It has also been found to improve cardiovascular, respiratory, circulatory, lymphatic and digestive functions.

Stretch/Theraball

This class is designed to be easy on the joints and ligaments. Stretching is an essential component of exercise. Stretching not only helps reduce lactic acid build up in the muscles following aerobic activity, it also extends your body’s range of motion. This leads to less injury while we age. Our sense of balance also deteriorates as we age. Theraball is a fantastic way to tone muscle, and improve core strength and balance.

Abs and Bottoms

The mid-section area requires significant effort to become firm and flat. We have designed a class with exercises devoted specifically for this purpose. It is not easy but well worth the effort!

Pilates

This class is conducted on mats with various pieces of equipment and is suitable for people of all ages.

Pilates is great for:
• Developing a lean but strong body.
• Toning arms, legs and stomach.
• Improving posture.

Pilates will leave you looking toned, feeling revitalized and moving with ease.
