CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

CORE PLUS™ Strengthen all the major muscle groups specifically, using free weights where appropriate, with emphasis on alignment, balance, core power, breath control and balanced muscle development.  

CORE POWER™ Strength training for the abdominal, lower back, buttock and thigh muscles, with focus on alignment, flexibility, and balance.

CARDIO STYLES  An aerobic workout, moving to music and incorporating both upper and lower body movement but no high-impact jumping (intensity without heavy joint stress).  Music and movement styles vary, including latin, hip hop, funk, ethnic, and classic aerobics.  Concludes with abdominal strength training. There is movement around the room, so you should be capable of running, jogging or walking briskly for short periods.

STABILITY BALL  The ball provides unique opportunities to improve strength, balance, agility and coordination.  Because it is inherently unstable, we learn to recruit muscles symmetrically and dramatically improve core power and control. And it's fun!

ZUMBA  A cardio dance class using Latin music and movement styles.

CARDIO-MUSCULAR Brief intervals of cardio (see above) alternating with upper body weight training. Class concludes with abdominal strength training.    The benefits of interval training along with an excellent opportunity to become familiar with cardio in shorter segments. 

JAZZ-FUNK-HIPHOP Warm-up, stretch, brief abdominal training, then the choreography is taught step by step. By the end of class, you’re dancing the whole combination. Emphasis on fun.

STRETCH/ALIGNMENT Loosen joints, lengthen muscles, release tension, improve posture, develop awareness and control of breath. By identifying the physical habits that create problems for you, you can move toward less physical restriction and a body that looks and feels better. Relax, refresh, enjoy.

MONDAY NIGHT DANCE (a.k.a. DANCE BREAK)  Kick-start your week!  Hip hop, salsa, lyrical jazz, gospel, funk -- lots of dance and music styles.  Short sequences of choregraphy, different every week.  Wear dance footwear, or indoor-only sneakers, or go barefoot.  Donation-based class.

ALL CLASSES ARE ONE HOUR UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED • MEN & WOMEN WELCOME  •  MOST LEVELS WELCOME

• ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE

Appearance, functional ability, and well-being are improved by increasing muscle strength and tone, developing flexibility and improving alignment and balance. By increasing kinesthetic awareness – our sense of what’s taking place in our bodies at each moment, in each specific area – we vastly improve our ability to make conscious choices about how we sit, stand, move, live. Emphasis on core strength, breath control, and kinesthetic awareness leads to greater agility, grace and power.
