First Time Visiting?
Choose a class that interests you. Look at the day and time above.
Wear comfortable clothes. Bring water to drink. Bring a towel if you sweat.
Arrive 10 minutes early. This gives you time to meet the instructor and ask questions.
Tell the instructor it’s your first time. They’ll show you what to do. They’ll help you modify movements if needed.
Listen to your body. Stop if something hurts. Rest when you need to. This is normal and okay.
Why Movement Matters
Your body needs movement to stay healthy. Your mind needs movement to reduce stress. Movement helps you sleep better. It gives you energy. It makes daily tasks easier.
But movement should never hurt you or make you feel bad about yourself. Our classes respect your body. Our instructors adjust activities to suit you.
What You'll Gain
You’ll feel stronger. Daily activities like carrying shopping, playing with grandchildren or getting up from a chair become easier.
You’ll feel more confident in your body. When you discover you can do more than you thought, it changes how you see yourself.
You’ll reduce stress. Moving your body helps calm your mind. Many people say they sleep better after regular exercise.
You’ll meet people. Our classes are social. You move together. You encourage each other. You make friends.
