Tai Chi and Qigong are movement systems based on ancient Chinese medicine and martial arts. They combine slow, fluid movements with breathing and gentle stretching to improve balance and flexibility, increase energy, and improve overall sense of peace and well-being. Each session invites you to breathe deeply, move slowly, and cultivate inner calm. Whether you're new to these ancient practices or returning to deepen your experience, this class offers a peaceful space for relaxation, rejuvenation, and self-care. All levels welcome. Dress comfortably for movement.

We are offering Tai Chi and Qigong with Joy this fall on Tuesdays, 9/15, at 12:30 pm.

The festive topic of brewing and beer in the Middle Ages has an unexpected source: the monasteries. In this lecture, we will look at the medieval process of brewing, the social aspects of beer, and the adroit monks and nuns who took charge of an unlikely industry--even to this very day. For students who would like to pre-purchase and sample some medieval-style beers, here is a list of the brews that fall into the categories discussed in this lecture.

Dr. Christine Axen will be teaching the following classes this fall:

• HHH: History’s Graffiti (ZOOM), Wed, 9/30
• HHH:  Death by Medieval Oddity, Wed, 10/28
• HHH: Tarot–Games & Fortunes from the Renaissance to Today, Wed, 11/18

Ballet Barre is a full-body, low-impact workout that is challenging yet accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels. Fusing ballet, Pilates, and yoga together, this barre class uses a combination of light weights, body weight, and stretching to achieve a strong, toned, and lengthened physique. Class begins with a warm-up followed by ballet-inspired thigh work, seat work to tone the glutes, and finally, upper body toning and abdominal work. We will stretch together after each work section to help protect the body and recover. No prior knowledge of ballet is required; all levels and abilities are welcome! 

We are offering Barre this fall on Fridays, starting 9/18, at 10:30 am.

**THIS CLASS IS OPEN TO ALL as part of our Open House. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.**

UPLIFT classes start with a cardio warm-up and transition to standing routines with equipment, alternating between the upper and lower body. Participants strategically work each muscle group to ensure an effective workout. A balance track is included after the muscles have been fatigued, which is challenging, rewarding, and a welcome change of pace before transitioning to the mat. The workout finishes with routines for the core, booty, abs, chest, and triceps, and a cool down with deep stretching. This UPLIFTING experience leaves participants feeling strong and confident.

We are offering UPLIFT Strength Fitness this fall on Wednesdays, starting 9/30, at 9:30 am.

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.

We are offering Rebalance and Realign with Slow Yoga this fall, Thursays, starting 9/24, at 9:15 am.

**THIS CLASS IS OPEN TO ALL as part of our Open House. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.**

Where walking meets strength, balance, and well-being!

FitWalk is a unique, outdoor fitness class that combines brisk walking with light strength training to boost energy, build muscle, and improve balance—all in the fresh air of nature. Using light hand weights (2–5 lbs, based on your fitness level), you’ll move through functional strength intervals designed to support better bones, joint health, and a strong core. Each session hits all the major muscle groups and includes training for stability, coordination, and posture. No two classes are exactly the same, but every FitWalk focuses on total-body wellness, community, and motivation. Along the way, you'll also build mindfulness and mental clarity, helping you feel stronger inside and out. All levels are welcome.

We are offering FitWalk to Wellness this fall starting Friday, 10/2, at 10:30 am.
