What a great way to work on your strength, balance, and flexibility without pain. The buoyancy of the water allows you to exercise and do motions that are hard to do on land while the resistance allows for a workout that is hard to replicate on land. Our pool is a saltwater system maintained at 92 degrees. Great for any level of fitness. Instructors: Dr. Emily Clark, DPT, and Dr. Emily Welch, DPT

Beginner Level Yoga (session 2)

$35

with Wendy McLoon

Calendar Mar 5, 2025 at 6 pm, runs for 6 weeks
Yoga has been shown to have vast health benefits for people of all body types and fitness levels. If you can stretch your muscles, you can do yoga! This six-week series will introduce basic yoga postures (along with modifications) and healthy alignment with some breath work and relaxation/meditation sprinkled in. We will play with linking postures together into a gentle ‘flow sequence that will stretch your muscles and relax your mind. As this will be in a virtual format via Zoom, verbal instructions will be replacing any hands-on adjustments. Participants should have a yoga mat or towel and wear clothes that allow for unrestricted movement. Some props that are helpful to have are two yoga blocks, a yoga strap (or scarf, belt or other long piece of fabric), and a folded blanket. A folding chair would be helpful for modifications or balance poses, and wall space nearby can be useful as well. Participants should have the ability to get up and down from the floor fairly easily, and be cleared by a medical professional if there are chronic health issues such as high blood pressure. Wendy McLoon-Waterman is a certified yoga instructor (RYT500) and a member of Yoga Alliance. She is also a certified Yoga Therapist working with individuals with physical and/or psycho-emotional challenges, and is a member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists.

Restorative Yoga Healing for Beginners

$10

with Andrea White

Calendar Mar 20, 2025 at 5:30 pm

Restoratove Yoga is a style of yoga for healing and restoring health and vitality to our mind and body. We use asana (posture) and pratyahara (breath) to inhibit the stress-response, thus activating the healing and repairing systems for optimal health. Props (blocks, bolsters and blankets) are used to completely support the body on the floor as it rests for a period of time in a healing position. Some of the benefits are: relieve of tension in neck, back, shoulders, helps lower blood pressure, quiets the mind, relaxes side of the body, releases muscle tension, improves sleep and reduces stress!!! *PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY FOR SET UP*
