Tai Chi is a form of mind-body exercise from China. Tai Chi combines slow, mindful movement with deep abdominal breathing. It is estimated that 20 percent of the world’s population regularly practices Tai Chi, making it one of the most popular forms of exercise in the world. 

As a form of physical exercise, Tai Chi strengthens the legs and core, increases flexibility, and improves balance. Tai Chi has been shown to lower blood pressure, help reduce the pain associated with arthritis, reduce falls in elderly populations, and promote longevity. Mentally and emotionally Tai Chi has been shown to improve positive mood factors while decreasing stress, anxiety, and depression.

Pilates with Michelle Cohen

Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays, 9a to 10a
Rooms 106-107, Coach Howell Center

Pilates is a challenging, low-impact class designed to improve muscle strength and control as well as posture, balance, and flexibility.   Exercises are typically done upright or lying on a mat. The focus is on good posture and core stabilization. The “core” includes the muscles of the abdomen, pelvic floor, back, and hips. Good posture and core stabilization are the foundation for safe, effective everyday movements. Bodyweight and gravity resistance are used, as well as dumbbells and balls, to hit all major muscle groups.

Art 101 with Andi Bedsworth 

 Fridays 10:30a to 11:30a
LLO Room

Art 101 is a survey class of many techniques including some crafts. It is geared for students with no experience in art though people with some experience will probably still enjoy it. The emphasis is on the process and not the product. Students will be exposed to different media, techniques and styles throughout the weeks giving them a relaxed approach to learning art. One does not have to come in consecutive order though sometimes there will be projects that will take more than one class to finish but these will be minimal and we will always have things for newcomers to try regardless. Materials are provided.

Yoga with Stevi Self

Mondays and Wednesdays 10:30a to 11:30a
Coach Howell Center, Rooms 106-107

Yoga involves slow-moving Yoga poses and guided breath work to increase strength, flexibility, mobility, balance, and mental calm and focus. You can add this if you want or leave it off if you think it’s irrelevant: Stevi is a certified Yoga therapist with over 20 years of experience teaching to all levels of ability. She adapts every class to the needs of the students who attend.
