Buff Bones® is a medically endorsed, full-body exercise system for bone and joint health that is terrific for anyone who wants to improve their current fitness level. It integrates Pilates, strength training, functional movement, and therapeutic exercise with bone strengthening and balance techniques. It is safe for those with osteoporosis and osteopenia. The result is a workout that makes you longer, leaner, straighter, and stronger. You will also stand taller and develop solid core strength.

As we age, all of us fall into habits of using our bodies in ways that they were not intended for. Over time, muscles become overstretched in some places and under-stretched in others, pulling our bones out of alignment and resulting in pain. In this slow yoga class, the focus will be on using targeted yoga postures (not all yoga postures are helpful) to rebalance muscle groups and encourage realignment for the prevention and reduction of pain... so maybe we won't have to pop a Tylenol to get through the day! In addition, this class includes instruction in mindfulness practice and stress reduction--important elements of every yoga session.

Tai Chi-Qigong is a healing exercise for our body, opening blocked energy channels through proper posture, breath work, and advanced concentration within graceful movement. Through this practice the condition of cells, muscles, bones, and joints are strengthened and revitalized, improving the function of internal organs and intestines.

Tai Chi (TaeGeuk) is the principle of the cosmic energy cycle. When cosmic energy is created and eventually reaches its peak, instead of disappearing, the energy converts into a different type of energy, thereby continuing its lifecycle.

Qigong is the understanding and application of the Tai Chi principle into our lives. We can embrace the cosmic energy cycle and transform ourselves, leading a less self-centered and more altruistic, devoted life.

IT’S ALWAYS A YOGA PRACTICE, NEVER A YOGA PERFECT
Practice like it’s the first time every time.

Whether you want to begin a yoga practice or practice to maintain your yoga practice, this class has been designed for you!

In this class you will learn the fundamental and the foundational postures of the yoga practice. Each practice creates a pattern of consistency, develops muscle memory, and strengthens the mind-body connection. We will Explore various ways to both enter and transition from one posture into another, building towards learning the SUN SALUTATION; a yoga sequence practiced by yogi's all over the world.

You will begin to integrate the physical postures, with the asana (pose) names in both English and Sanskrit, develop an understanding of cues often heard in studio classes, with a nod to those that sound strange; "pull your naval to your spine" and "root down to rise up."

Yoga is a relaxant. Yoga heightens awareness, cultivates patience, and balances the body-mind connection. Yoga improves strength, musculoskeletal fitness, and flexibility. Learning the basics sets you on the path to a lifelong yoga practice. All you need to do is show up, roll out your mat, and practice like it's the first time every time.

Circuit training is a full-body exercise class that works all sections and muscle groups of the body with upper body, core, lower body, and total body exercises. An exercise circuit includes a set of 10 exercises, which are set up at stations. Participants rotate from station to station, completing each exercise for a given amount of time (1-2 minutes). After a full circuit of 10 exercises is completed, the participants begin back at their first station for the next circuit. Modifications for all levels will be provided.

Using Chair Yoga as the foundation of this class, the focus will be to develop and increase balancing skills critical for staying strong and safe.  Balancing, whether you’re walking, running, jumping, and especially while standing, requires muscle strength and strong bones.  Over time muscles and bones can weaken, causing us to lose strength, and balancing becomes more of a challenge.  BUT…strong muscles and bones are not the only factors that keep us from getting wobbly.  The sensory systems have a huge impact on balance.  The receptors that enable touch and feel, the vestibular system (the complex inner ear workings), and vision have a profound impact, playing havoc with the ability to balance.  Using a series of exercises that integrate both strength and agility with the sensory systems, done on and off the chair, you will align your bones and joints.  Not only will you gain strength and balance more easily, but you will also feel more balanced.
